The journey will take us from one corner of the country to another stopping at important textile centers, interacting with locals, visiting major sights, and witnessing the Trashigang tschechu (festival). We understand that our group will have varying interests and so we provide a range of activities, ranging from hands-on opportunities at the loom to non---textile pursuits for accompanying partners. We also have left plenty of flexibility in the itinerary to take advantage of opportunities that can’t be predicted and to choose optional activities according to the interests of the group.
We will conclude our adventure in the more developed western part of Bhutan and by this time you should be well acclimatized if you wish to hike to the spectacular Taktsang (Tigers Nest) monastery near Paro.
Â
This textile tour is designed to provide you with the rare opportunity to understand different aspects of Bhutanese textiles including the process of natural dying and weaving through hands-on opportunities.
