BHUTAN
Bhutan
is a tiny Himalayan Kingdom nestled
between China with province of Tibet
in the North and Indian state of Assam,
West Bengal and Sikkim in east, south
and west respectively. It is one of
the rare and most unique of travel destination,
Bhutan offers the experience of Buddhist
tradition in a setting of unique architecture
and the breathtaking Himalayan landscape.
The friendly people of Bhutan share
with you their traditional lifestyle,
which because of the limited numbers
of foreigners admitted per year has
maintained much of its historical and
cultural authenticity. Climate variations,
coupled with the huge changes in altitude,
make Bhutan a country with an extremely
rich flora and fauna. A trip to Bhutan
is an opportunity to experience a Himalayan
Buddhist culture little disturbed by
outside influence. Leave the multitudes
of Western visitors behind, and enter
with humble respect into the Land of
the Thunder Dragon.
