In the heart of the Himalayas lies Bhutan, a mystical land known as the “Land of the Thunder Dragon” or ‘Druk Yul’.

The architecture inspires awe, the religion sparks excitement, and art adorns the surroundings with timeless beauty. As you traverse this ancient land, encounter strategic fortresses, or Dzong, ancient temples, and monasteries that grace the countryside. Witness prayer flags fluttering along high ridges, wild animals thriving in dense forests, and foamy white waterfalls descending like ethereal showers. Amidst it all, bask in the warmth of the friendly smiles that define Bhutan.

This tiny kingdom, sharing with Nepal the world’s greatest concentration of mountains and the living heritage of Buddhism, is a gem waiting to be discovered.
