About Bhutan

Tucked away from the monotonous chores of daily life faraway in the lap of the Eastern Himalayas is a fairy tale land. It is called Druk Yul or the Land of the Thunder Dragon, better known to the world as Bhutan.

As an exemplar tourist destination, this little Himalayan Kingdom has its own unique specialties. Here the Land, the Nature and the People have blended to a perfect harmony that indicates Peace, Tranquility and Depth.

For the traveler in quest for peace, tranquility, inspiration and enchantment Bhutan is the perfect answer. Here amidst monasteries, fluttering prayer flags, friendly people, pristine scenery, running streams, green valleys, lakes and awe inspiring architecture the traveler wakes up to a deep and pleasant realization that his inward journey has been as much valuable as his outward trip.

Nature in Bhutan has an amazing diversity. Be it fiery rhododendrons galore in the months of spring or expanse of blue poppies in rolling fields, the beauty is simultaneously pristine and primeval. Rich flora and fauna are yet to be explored. The Bhutanese traditional reverence for nature has delivered the country into the third millennium with its environment - both natural and popular - still richly intact.
