Bhutan or locally known by Druk Yul- "the Land of Thunder Dragon" is perhaps the last Shangri-La on earth. Hidden amidst the mighty Himalayas and sandwiched between its two great neighbours, 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. For many centuries this mysterious kingdom has been closed for foreigner and still the government restricts the number of tourists to small amount. This is why, Bhutan cultural heritage is kept well preserved from any western influence. The kingdom is spread over 47,000 sq. km 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 flora 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.
