5 reasons to go to Bhutan

Paro, Bhutan

In the Himalayas, between India and China, a small state - the Kingdom of Bhutan - is hiding from numerous tourist eyes. It is the Kingdom of Happiness, it is also the Land of the Thunder Dragon, it is also the Last Shangri-La ...

Bhutan has abandoned widespread globalization and is now building a national concept under the slogan “Happiness - just be here!”. Only since 1974, this happiness has become available to tourists - though not many, but they can certainly be called lucky.

And for those who are lucky enough to visit Bhutan, we have prepared our TOP-5 things to do in this country:

1. Visit the legendary monastery “Tigress's Nest” (pictured), located on a 900-meter-high rock.
2. To see the top of the mountain on which the Thundering Dragon lives - the symbol and patron of Bhutan. Mount Gangkhar Puensum takes 40th place among the highest mountain peaks on earth and has never been conquered. Its peak goes up to a height of 7570 meters above sea level.
3. Practice archery - the national fun of the Bhutanese. Archery is Bhutanese's favorite sport. Each village has its own shooting field.
4. Visit the Tsechu festival and see the largest image of Guru Rinpoche.
5. Buy a piece of colorful yatra woolen fabric and sew something for yourself on a chilly autumn.

5 reasons to fly to Sri Lanka

Sigiriya, Sri Lanka ⠀



The style of relaxation in Sri Lanka can be briefly defined as follows: away from the hustle and bustle, closer to the sea and nature. Most attractions in Sri Lanka are natural, just like most attractions.

Sri Lanka is an ideal place for privacy and relaxation from noisy, dusty, stormy cities. Everywhere you will be surrounded only by the blue sea, sky and green tropical forests. Everything here is created for the pacification and enjoyment of human life.

We are starting our TOP 5 things to do in Sri Lanka (in addition to enjoying a beach holiday and surfing):
  1. Visit a safari in the Yala National Park. For tourists, a safari is an opportunity to simultaneously visit the open "zoo", get a dose of adrenaline and take a lot of stunning wildlife photos
  2. Visit Sigiriya (pictured). Sigiriya is a rock 170 meters high, on the top of which there is a fortress, and at the foot there are impenetrable jungle.
  3. Visit the tea plantations. Tourists are offered not only to visit the plantations of the tea center of Nuwara Eliya, located high in the mountains, but also to visit tea factories, try different varieties of the drink, learn the culture of tea drinking and ways to distinguish Ceylon tea from fake.
  4. To observe the majestic blue whales and sperm whales, gracefully gliding past boats in the waters off the coast of Sri Lanka.
  5. To conquer the peak of Adam. Adam's Peak is considered a sacred place for adherents of four religious movements at once. Locals are sure that if you climb the mountain before dawn, then with the first ray of the sun you can see the trace left by Shiva himself (according to other versions - Gautama or the apostle Thomas). ⠀

5 reasons to go to Jodhpur, India

The city of Jodhpur, located in the middle of the Thar desert, is part of the state of Rajasthan. Because of the blue color of the houses, it is often called the “Blue City”.

Jodhpur is an ancient and very beautiful city of India, tangled medieval streets intertwined in it, which, it seems, never lead to where you want to get. They smell like incense, roses and sewers. There are shops and bazaars where everything is sold, from pipes and temple decorations to tobacco and saris.

For those who are going to go to this Indian city, catch our TOP 5 things to do in Jodhpur:
  1. Climb to Fort Mehrangarh. The fort rises above the city on a hilltop. Fort walls are lined with old artillery and offer panoramic views of the Blue City.
  2. See the palace of Umaid Bhawan. A masterpiece of architecture that stands out for its impressive size and magnificent pink and white exteriors.
  3. Visit the Jaswant Thada Memorial (pictured). This white marble memorial was built by Sardar Singha in 1899 in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, the 33rd ruler of Jodhpur.
  4. Go to the gardens of Mandore. Mandore Gardens has a government museum, a hero hall and a temple, and high rocky terraces make the garden even more attractive.
