I'll be off to Bhutan and India on November 4th, and we'll be visiting parts of Bhutan many tourists do not visit or see. We met the gentleman yesterday in San Francisco who is familiar with Bhutan, because he goes there two-three times every year, and he's the one who prepared our itinerary. He lives in Alaska, but was on his way to Tibet for a trek on the Himalayas. We will have one of Bhutan's best tourist guide, and we learned yesterday he will have an assistant to care for our needs during the trip.
The following YouTube recording on Bhutan was sent to me this morning by one of our tour member, and shows the unique nature of Bhutan and the people of that country. They are heavily influenced by Tibetan buddhism. As usual, I will post a travelogue with pictures upon my return.
