Known by its formal name, the Kingdom of Bhutan, Bhutan is a unique small landlocked nation in the eastern Himalayas that is well situated between China and India. As the proud “Land of the Thunder Dragon,” Bhutan is home to breathtaking landscapes that range from lush subtropical plains to majestic snow-capped peaks, all while maintaining its unique cultural heritage.

Bhutan embraced the Gross National Happiness (GNH) idea, which places a higher value on happiness than financial success. The nation’s strong Buddhist culture is exemplified by the stupas, beautiful dzongs (fortress monasteries), and vibrant festivals like the Tsechus. Famous landmarks that skillfully combine modernity and tradition include Paro Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest Monastery), Punakha Dzong, and the capital city of Thimphu.

As a leader in environmentally conscious travel, Bhutan is committed to protecting its breathtaking landscapes and wide variety of species. Bhutan offers a whole experience that enthralls tourists with its magnificent natural beauty and kind hospitality.
