Bhutan Travel Guide

Journey to a fortified fortress among the peaks of the Himalayas. The Kingdom of Bhutan is a small country tucked into the mountains between China and India. Also known as the Land of the Peaceful Thunder Dragon, Bhutan is a small kingdom with awe-inspiring temples and fortresses towering over the Himalayan valleys, numerous natural reserves and parks and a national commitment to environmental preservation and development. In short, Bhutan is THE ecoluxury destination.

Bhutan is the only Vajrayana Buddhist nation and a strong sense of spirituality is prevalent throughout the hillside villages and fertile valleys. The Bhutanese have carefully cultivated and preserved their beliefs and traditions with such dedication that tourists must register with the national tourism office and obtain permits to visit its many gorgeous sites. However, once you visit Bhutan you will not be sorry. The land of the Last Shangri-La is abundant with ancient dzongs, (fortresses) towering over valleys, spiritual monasteries carved into cliffs, temples built into caves and a variety of other religious sites. Some sites like Singye Dzong are so sacred that Bhutan closes them to the public. Adventurers can trek up mountain trails through the three main regions of Bhutan. Hike through the rolling foothills, passing robed monks along the way.

Bhutan is like no other country in the world and is a magical place to visit. As it maintains a reputation as an exclusive tourist destination, it is a popular stop among the jet set of the luxury travel sector. Bhutan is a fascinating country with an incredible sense of culture and tradition that distinguishes it from the rest of the world.
