Bhutan: The Land of the Thunder Dragon

Bhutan is a small, landlocked Himalayan kingdom covering approximately 4,700 square kilometers. Nestled between Tibet to the north and the Indian states of Assam and West Bengal to the south and east, with Sikkim to the west, Bhutan is often referred to as "Druk Yul" by its citizens, meaning "Land of the Thunder Dragon."

Having remained isolated from the rest of the world until the 1970s, Bhutan has preserved its ancient Buddhist traditions, pristine environment, and rich cultural heritage. This makes it a unique and sought-after destination for travelers. Though considered one of the more expensive countries for trekking and tourism, Bhutan offers unparalleled natural beauty, including majestic peaks, cascading waterfalls, ancient monasteries, dense forests, and diverse wildlife—experiences that make every visit worthwhile.

Often called the "Shangri-La of Earth," Bhutan’s commitment to preserving its traditions and environment continues to attract thousands of visitors each year.
