Bhutan often revered as the land of peaceful dragon’ is still regarded as one of the last shangrilas'in the Himalayan region because of its remoteness. It’s spectacular mountain terrain, varied flora and fauna and its unique ancient Buddhist monasteries. It is in the relatively unexplored pocket of Asia which allows only limited number of discerning travelers to enter the country in order to protect its fragile environment and culture.
Bhutan a purely Buddhist Himalayan kingdom is unsurpassed in its scenic majesty and vibrant culture. The kingdom shares with Nepal the world's greatest concentration of mountains and living heritage of Buddhism.
