Welcome to Bhutan, the ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’. Residing in the lap of the Eastern Himalayan range, Bhutan is a small country with Himalayan Mountains in the north and Himalayan foothills in the south. The country is world famous for its breathtaking views of the gigantic peaks of Mt. Everest, Kanchanjunga, Mt. Jichu Drake and Chomolhari range. Bhutan is a culturally rich country that has been the home to many scholars, artists and noted craftsmen. Being called the Dragon Kingdom, Bhutan is a peaceful and picturesque territory vying to be explored by the tourists.

With its picturesque and untouched natural beauty, Himalayan terrain, rich flora and fauna and vivacious Buddhist culture, Bhutan is increasingly emerging as a tourist destination, especially for people who prefer to spend their holidays in the lap pf pure natural settings. Bhutan for centuries has placed a special emphasis on environmental preservation and this is the reason that even after so many years, 65% of the country is still under forest cover. Lush valleys, perennially flowing rivers, verdant hillsides, artistic hamlets and colorful monasteries make traveling to Bhutan a surreal experience.

Bhutan along with Nepal makes the highest concentration of mountains anywhere in the world. A day spent in trekking and walking the magnificent trails and treks is an experience that can not be expressed in words. Bhutan is the ideal place for individuals who are looking for a recluse in their travel. Dense forests, colorful wildlife, glorious mountains and a pure environment are some of the features that separate Bhutan from other countries of the world. Although Buddhism is the prime religion in Bhutan, the people of Bhutan embrace every religion as their own and are more than happy to treat their guests with their unmatched hospitality.

Visiting Bhutan is like revisiting an ancient book and its timeless beauty and serenity is sure to intoxicate its visitors. The grand Dzongs, primeval temples, stupas and monasteries dotting the countryside, along with a rich wildlife, bubbly waterfalls, serenading rivers and treacherous paths will transform you to some another universe. Visit Bhutan and be a part of the world which still resides in simplicity and sheer natural glory. Come drench yourself in a magical and mystical land that will remain etched in your memories for your lifetime.
