Bhutan, the \u201cLand of the Thunder Dragon\u201d is located in the mighty Himalayas, between two giant countries, China in the North and India in the south.

Buddhism is deeply rooted in the culture heritage and tradition, can be witnessed in the daily life and activities of the Bhutanese people. Bhutan is a deeply spiritual land and blessed with green valleys, dense forests, rolling hills, and towering crags, picturesque ceremonies; the people of Bhutan are warm, hospitable and always smiling, they love to meet and entertain foreign visitors. Bhutan is hidden paradise and an environmentalist\u2019s dream. Bhutan is voted as one of the world\u2019s top travel destinations.<\/p>\n
Bhutan holds many surprises. This is a country where the rice is red and where chillies aren’t just a seasoning but the main dish. It’s also a deeply Buddhist land, where monks check their smart phones after performing a divination. Yet while it visibly protects its Buddhist traditions, Bhutan is not a museum. You will find the Bhutanese well educated, fun loving and well informed about the world around them. It’s this blending of the ancient and modern that makes Bhutan endlessly fascinating.<\/p>\n
