BHUTAN - THE LAND OF PEACEFUL DRAGON

BHUTAN - The Land of Peaceful Dragon

 

Bhutan often reversed as the ‘Land of the peaceful Dragon’ is still regarded as one of the last “Shangri-La” in the Himalayan region because of its remoteness, it’s spectacular mountain terrain, varied flora and fauna and it’s unique ancient Buddhist monasteries. It is relatively unexplored pockets of Asia, which allows only limited number of discerning travelers to enter the country with special travel visa permits.

Bhutan’s isolation has resulted its culture and traditions remaining much the same for many hundreds of years. Our weekly departure allows you to experience the stunning beautiful alpine valley flanked by step slopes and terraced pastures dotted with temple.
