About Bhutan

Drukyul, the land of Thunder Dragon, as Bhutan is locally known, is perhaps the last of the Shangrilas. Hidden amidst the mighty Himalayas and sandwiched between its two great neighbors, with Tibet (China) in the North and India in the South, Bhutan is as big as Switzerland but sparsely inhabited by little over 600,000 people. The kingdom is spread over 47,000 square kilometer with varied climatic conditions ranging from subtropical to the frigid reaches of almost 25,000 feet snow capped ranges of Tibetan border.

Bhutan is blessed with a wealth of floral and fauna, magnificent mountains, dense forests, crystalline air, a self-sufficient and friendly people, superb art and eye-catching architecture, without beggars or crime. In fact, Bhutan is truly a Paradise.
