Welcome to Bhutan
Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, or Drukyul, as Bhutanese call it, is indeed a paradise on earth. It is often referred to as the last Shangri-La, situated on the final frontier, east of the Greater Himalayas, bordered to the south by India and China to the north. It is a country shrouded in magic and mystery, where happiness reigns at the center of government policy. It is a country deeply steeped in Buddhist culture and tradition, which until the early 1970s was closed to the rest of the world.
This independent and proud Buddhist Kingdom is fiercely environment conscious, and its ancient Buddhist culture and breathtaking scenery make it a unique and exotic tourist destination. Bhutan's singular tourism policy (high value, low volume) to safeguard its distinct and amazing cultural identity while opening up, restricts the backpacker-style independent travel. It provides a guided tour of the highest standard.
