Happy New Year from Sam & Rachael!
Small World Travel works with families of all shapes and sizes on a colorful myriad of itineraries around the world. Some of our favorite and most intensive work is, however, reserved for our Around the World Adventures. These trips usually span the course of a year and involve between 20 – 30 different destinations, and typically all seven continents. Each tailor-made piece of these sometimes 150+ page itineraries is created with the purpose of education: our mission is to make your children citizens of the world via new experiences and enriched cultural environments, to expose them to shaping history and tradition, and to create family experiences that will be carried with them for a lifetime.
As 2010 draws to a close, we at SWT are honored to reflect upon the role we have played in the experiences of our clients and their families. Whether uplifting successes or mind-bending challenges, we value every step of every trip as lessons in our own personal education, and for that we extend our thanks and gratitude, and look forward to each Family Adventure to come.
But enough about us!
One of our favorite global destinations is a small, culturally supercharged oasis of timeless peace and joy. Nestled between India, Nepal, and Tibet, Bhutan lays claim to the British author James Hilton’s title of “Shangri-La,” synonymous with a mythical Himalayan utopia, and exists under the mandate of Gross National Happiness. Because Bhutan only opened its doors to tourism in the last 30 years, it has remained relatively isolated from the world, resulting in the preservation of their rich Buddhist heritage. Their exclusivity is accidental, their allure and mystery completely authentic.
The government of Bhutan has strictly regulated the flow of tourism with a policy of “high value and low volume.” A local guide accompanies every visitor in Bhutan, ensuring an experience charged with a wealth of knowledge and adventure. While you may see no large crowds, the Bhutanese tourism industry has grown and now offers five-star accommodations and trekking excursions, not to mention a plethora of touring options that will occupy every minute of your stay, should you choose.
Keys to Bhutan, in particular, has emerged as a leader in Bhutan’s blossoming tourism industry. Offering a variety of adventures, from photography lessons to tented trekking excursions of varying length and difficulty to fishing and bird watching, Keys to Bhutan simultaneously guides you into the magical heart of Bhutanese history and tradition while also providing comfortable, luxurious lodging, cuisine, and amenities. No wish goes unanswered in The Land of the Thunder Dragon, and it is there that your family will find a level of enriching immersion, education, and exclusivity that any other country would be hard-pressed to match.
