About Bhutan

This hidden gem of Southeast Asia, nestled in the Himalayan mountains, demands to be noticed. Its picture-postcard beauty, lush woods, brilliant architecture, surreal environment, and vibrant festivals are just a few of the highlights that have captured the attention of tourists near and far.

A little history about Bhutan- it is a fiercely independent Buddhist country and a remote kingdom, with several spellbinding, century-old fortresses (dzongs) and monasteries.  Did you know Bhutan has never been conquered? Therefore, it has maintained its culture until now. Today, it is highly accessible from major airlines worldwide. The aerial view of the Himalayas is a treat in itself!

Ranked as Asia’s happiest country and the world’s sole carbon-negative country, Bhutan places significant emphasis on its residents and their environment. What does this mean? It is the only country that generates more oxygen than it consumes. With nearly 70% of the country covered in forests, a low population of not even a million people, as well as fresh air and thriving wildlife, Bhutan has the perfect formula for a green country as you’ve never seen before. Bhutan also created the Gross Nation Happiness (GNH) score to ensure its people are happy and to see how to improve. From this, it has banned tobacco sales and even plastic! You will marvel at such a progressive country.

For sensation seekers, Bhutan’s lush green forests, high-rise mountains, and crystal-clear rivers offer numerous adventurous activities like hiking, rope climbing, and river rafting. You could even try out a game of archery with the hospitable locals, Bhutan’s national sport!

Are you a birder? This is the place for you! With an impressive 760 species of birds, Bhutan has some of the best birdwatching tours you could imagine.

Is any getaway complete without delicious food? Spicy, cheesy, fresh, and succulent cuisine awaits you! Even though Bhutanese love chiles, there are many flavorful dishes with less heat, like the famous dumpling called momo.

Truly, amazing Bhutan has anything you could ask for to make a memorable once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
