The entire country is dispersed with monasteries, stupas and other religious institutions. Religious festivals, celebrated all across the country with great fervour, present an excellent example of unity among people. Mask dances, called cham, are a biggest attraction for tourists. Bhutanese dance forms and music make the cultural tour of Bhutan even more interesting. The Bhutan government has played a major role in preserving the vibrant cultural heritage of the country. In terms of spiritualism, art, architecture, festivities, lifestyle, Bhutan is really a country worth-exploring. Though Bhutan isn't untouched by modernization, there are plenty of rustic settlements all across the country. There are countless tiny remote villages where you can see Bhutanese leading an attractively laid-back life. The traditional dresses of the country is a feast for the eyes. All in all, a cultural tour of Bhutan will simply transport to a different world, leaving you with innumerable cherishing memories.
