It has been an enriching and wonderful experience. From a tour operator's point of view, Jordan is one of the most spectacular destinations in the world and it is one of the world's leaders in the tourism industry in the areas of ecotourism and sustainable tourism. And then, in any discussion of the world's most hospitable people, Jordanians have to be strongly considered. Please join us as we explore the fascinating and friendly country.

A word from Donald King...
small village of Nabji and celebrate with many local villagers their annual festival (Tsechu) . This year a newly embroidered huge thangkha or tapestry will be a unfurled - blessing the village and especially the festival’s visitors . Dances will be performed by lay monks (Gomchens) and woman folk-dancers from Nabji and Korphu village. We believe after attending such a sacred festival you are blessed to live twice as long. Devotees from far and near always try to attend this special festival. A first in ecotourism in Bhutan, the Nabji Korphu trek is designed to support local villagers who help supply food, portaging and shelter for guests when they visit their villages.
