About Bhutan

This hidden gem of South Asia, nestled in the Himalayan mountains, deserves attention for many reasons. Picture-postcard beauty, lush woods, brilliant architecture, otherworldliness, vibrant festivals, and the list goes on. Bhutan is a historic, fiercely independent Buddhist country and a remote kingdom, with several spellbinding, century-old dzongs (fortresses) and monasteries. Today, it’s effortless to travel to this little-known land by Drukair and Bhutan Airlines from major Indian cities. What’s more, a flight to Bhutan over the Himalayas is itself a treat!

The warm and hospitable Bhutanese people are an absolute delight. Who on earth won’t long to travel to amazing Bhutan that offers picturesque landscapes, exciting activities, and a warm welcome to outsiders?

Ranked as Asia’s happiest and the world’s sole carbon-negative country, Bhutan has a significant focus on conserving the environment. In fact, the Bhutanese way of going green is a significant pillar of the Bhutan happiness index. With an incredibly low population of not even a million people, 64% forestland, and lots of fresh air, the Bhutan Gross National Happiness Index is more significant than the Bhutan Gross National Product. And green Bhutan is proud of this fact.

The age-old, colourful festivals of this happy country showcase its rich cultural fabric with masked people dressed in bright-coloured clothes and folk music. What better way than this to celebrate Bhutan in all its glory?

Bhutan’s serene and untouched landscapes beckon you to feed your adventure-hungry souls. This country of lush green forests, high-rise mountains, and crystal-clear rivers offers numerous adventure activities like hiking, rope climbing, and river rafting. What’s more, the friendly folk will also encourage you to try your hand at archery, their national sport. On the other hand, Bhutan’s cliff-top monasteries and slow-paced walks through its paddies and timeless hamlets provide all the peace that you’d desire on a relaxing Bhutan tour. Bhutan – an amusing jumble of impressions, indeed!

Is tourism complete without food? Never. The Bhutanese’ love for chillies is evident in the country’s deliciously spicy cuisine. So, if you love spicy food, our next-door neighbour has plenty of chilli treats to offer you!

Bhutan Tourism promises charm, delight, solace, and contentment. This tiny kingdom awaits as you plan your Bhutan visit. The countdown begins…
