Overview

Bhutan, located in the Eastern Himalayas is famous for its magnificent scenery, vibrant culture, and unique development philosophy that emphasizes Gross National Happiness rather than Gross Domestic Product. Exploring Bhutan allows visitors to experience natural wonders and deeply ingrained customs.

One of the highlights of a Bhutan tour is exploring its majestic monasteries, known as dzongs, which serve as both religious and administrative centers. These architectural marvels are often perched on hillsides or valleys, offering panoramic views of the surrounding scenery. Paro Taktsang and Tiger’s Nest Monastery are perhaps the most iconic structures attached to a cliffside high above the Paro Valley.

Beyond its monasteries, Bhutan is home to pristine national parks and nature reserves. It is a haven for a diverse array of flora and fauna. Travelers can embark on hikes through dense forests, where they may encounter exotic wildlife such as takins, the national animal of Bhutan, or elusive snow leopards. The country’s commitment to environmental conservation ensures that these natural habitats remain unspoiled for generations.

Additionally, visitors can engage in homestays with local families, allowing them to experience daily life in rural Bhutan and establish meaningful connections with the warm and hospitable Bhutanese people.

It aims to minimize adverse effects of tourism on the environment and culture of the country.Consequently, individuals visiting Bhutan must arrange their trips through authorized tour operators and pay a daily tariff that covers accommodations, meals, transportation, and a fee for sustainable tourism.

Overall, a visit to Bhutan provides a memorable experience, where tourists can fully engage with a country of untouched natural beauty, lively culture, and enduring customs, all while supporting the goals for sustainable development.
