Bhutan or ‘Druk Yul’ –
the mythical Land of Peaceful Dragon is as much known for its dramatic
land architecture and fabulous bio-diversity as for its rich and
colourful cultural heritage Today, when the cultural boundaries
in almost every part of the world are steadily diluting, this fascinating
Dragon Kingdom is credited to successfully retain its distinct cultural
entity in a genuinely original form. Every facet of Bhutanese culture
is unique, distinct and different, or say – very special
and exotic. Being a staunch Buddhist country, the socio-cultural
life, art, crafts and traditions to architecture, every aspect of
Bhutan is greatly influenced by religion.
Here the awe-inspiring vales and dales,
daunting heights of the countless silvery massifs and towering black
mountains, sprawling glaciers, stupendous waterfalls, crystal clear
lakes, swift cascading rivers, flamboyant streams, deep gorges and
seemingly unending series of beautiful valleys, verdant slopes and
vast undulating flower studded Himalayan meadows, dense forests
and mysterious snow basins and whispering savannahs, vividly illustrate
the varying moods, modes and chores of mother nature. No doubt,This
Himalayan wonderland is fast emerging as a favoured destination
of the globe trotters.
