BHUTAN the LAND of THUNDER DRAGON
There is a place on earth that even the most seasoned travelers consider a privilege to visit. And this is Drukyul, BHUTAN the Land of Thunder Dragon where happiness is more than a dream. Suspended high on the great Himalayan range, the kingdom of Bhutan has defined globalization and chosen to remain a hidden paradise.
Bhutan is marked by raw natural beauty where the dense foliage changes dramatically as the sub tropical jungles at sea level merge into a fertile temperate zone and rises up to the great northern glaciers.
Bhutan is the last bastion of Vajrayana Buddhism, a spiritual practice that is known to be one of the most profound schools of teaching in the Buddhist world.
The people of Bhutan have drawn a reach culture from this heritage and made it the essence of their unique identity and truly live by being in touch with past. It is no surprise that the main goal in life for Bhutanese people is happiness. Even the meandate of modern Bhutanese state is “ Gross National Happiness ”. Thus the carefully controlled tourism policy of the Bhutanese government that says, in essence: “ Take Nothing but Pictures, Leave Nothing but Footsteps ”.
