TopicA Visually Mind-blowing Adventure to Bhutan and India

Tour Guide: Dick Volker

Description: 
What makes this adventure so truly amazing?

Find out as Dick takes you on his photographic journey to Bhutan and India, completed only five months ago, (October-November 2022). Was it the people, their culture, the natural beauty of the country, wildlife, or national history?

Have you ever been to a country where people do not believe in harming or killing anything living; where even the poorest people are fed; where there is no apparent resentment of who they are in their society; education and health care is free; all courses from kindergarten through high school are taught in English.

Never heard of Bhutan ... less than 50 years ago, the first foreign visitors arrived. Never heard that India ... has millions of Gods and there is a religion for everyone and it is all okay.

A final note. After 4-weeks of travel, NOBODY in our tour group got COVID or was sick, recognizing India has a population in excess of 1.2 billion while Bhutan’s population is less than 800,000.
