WELCOME TO BHUTAN
Welcome to Bhutan- the Land of the Thunder Dragon - one of the most sought after travel destinations today.
WELCOME TO BHUTAN Welcome to Bhutan- the Land of the Thunder Dragon - one of the most sought after travel destinations today. The thunder dragon is a trekker’s paradise and an environmentalist’s dream. With 72 percent of the country under forest cover, Bhutan’s pristine ecology is home to rare and endangered flora and fauna. This spiritual land is the last bastion of the Vajrayana school of Mahayana Buddhism which provides the essence of a unique identity for the 750,000 people. Bhutan is a unique blend of the old and new. Here is a country that is slowly opening up to the modern world in a fine balance with its ancient traditions. Those fortunate enough to visit Bhutan describe it as a unique, deeply spiritual and mystical experience. This kingdom is an adventure like no other. |
NATURE Serene Mystic Beauty

While in many other parts of the Himalayas the destruction of forests and loss of habitats have severely reduced wildlife population, Bhutan harbours many endangered species mainly due to the intact forests and the fact that this small country stretches from the subtropics in the south to the perennially frozen regions of the Himalayas in the north. Bhutan has 770 species of birds (15 globally threatened), 165 mammals (among them 24 internationally protected wild animal species) and 5500 species of vascular plants (among them 152 medical plants).

remained sovereign and self-sufficient but unknown to the world outside for most of its existence until the mid 20th century. The country’s heritage of rich culture and environment has remained almost completely untainted. The daily life is influenced strongly by Buddhism and like nowhere else one can experience Living Buddhism in Bhutan. The Middle Path and the concept of Gross National Happiness are a strong basis for the Bhutanese way of life. 
Misty trails that wind their course through sublime forests, torrents of sparkling water gushing in and out of deep and narrow gorges, crystal clear lakes, sprawling alpine meadows full of blue poppy and edelweiss, rare and exotic animals like takin, blue sheep, snow leopard or musk deer in between forever staying unclimbed snowcapped peaks beyond 7000m.
The Buddhist festivals or Tsechus are one of the prime examples of the living culture of Bhutan that many have come to admire and to treasure. The tsechu is a festival in honour of Guru Rinpoche, the saint who brought Buddhism to Bhutan and the Himalayan world. These Tsechus are held in almost every district attracting hundreds of Bhutanese people in a spirit of festivity, celebration and deep faith.
