Bhutan Destination

The last Shangri-La on Earth

Kingdom of Bhutan is an exotic land of high mountains and lush valleys, snow-clad peaks and crystal clear springs, a pristine ecology and an incredible abundancy of wild life. Hidden in the eastern Himalayas between India and Tibet, this scarcely populated country of a little over half a million is the last surviving Mahayana Buddhist state. Bhutan has remained a hidden Kingdom by choice for many years. Today, it has opened its door to visitors, and a small number of people are welcome to explore the Kingdom.
