Pilgrimage

Bhutan is the only country in the world that officially practices Vajrayana Buddhism. More than a religion, Buddhism is a way of life in Bhutan. Since time immemorial, Buddhism has shaped local beliefs, culture and identity.
A pilgrimage to Bhutan is an invitation for the truth seekers yearning to delve deep into the spiritual environment of Bhutan. Bhutan, the final bastion of Vajrayana Buddhism, served as a sanctuary for the esteemed lineage holders, and was where they practiced the tantric tenets of view, conduct, and meditation. One will embark on a pilgrimage trip to the Bumthang district, the nucleus of Bhutan’s spiritual universe, where Guru Rinpoche had left an indelible mark in a cavern. The trip from the western to central Bhutan will provide abundant time for meditative practices, and mindfulness exercises that will transform one’s inner self in the presence of these sacred sites.
Emanating mysticism and spirituality from every nook and corner, Bhutan makes for a destination unmatched to plan your next pilgrimage vacation. The great Himalayan Kingdom steeps deep in mystic Buddhist vibes and provides for a fascinating time, replete with magnificent monasteries, sacred temples and holy shrines that sit here since ancient times. Bhutan is deeply soaked in Buddhist mythology, much to an extent that Buddhism is not a mere religion here rather the country’s lifeline, and this very fact prominently reflects in their architecture, prayer flags and endless number of monasteries and temples that dot Bhutan.
