Bhutan Tour

“Explore Bhutan holidays and discover the best time and places to visit. | Bhutan is no ordinary place. It is the last great Himalayan kingdom, shrouded in mystery and magic, where a traditional Buddhist culture carefully embraces global developments.”

Bhutan is Asia’s small country with the area of 46,500 square kilometers bordered with Sikkim and West Bengal in the west, Tibet to the north and northwest, Arunachal Pradesh to the east, and Bengal Duars and Assam to the south and was first settled in the 9th century by wandering migrants from the Tibet region of China. Called Druk Yul ( Land of the Thunder Dragon ) by its people.

The mystery, the nature, the culture and age old traditions are the attractions of Bhutan. The country accommodates international travel via Druk-Air , and the only ground entry into the country is through the southern border town of Phuntsholing. Long influenced by the culture of India and the British government, it gained its independence from India in 1949. Today its major trading partner is India, however much of its people still live in poverty, with wide-spread illiteracy a major social problem. The capital city of Thimphu sits at an altitude of 7000 feet, on the banks of the Wong Chu river, and remains the site of royal government offices, and serves as a powerful magnet for adventure travelers from around the world. Tourism in Bhutan was privatized by the Royal Government of Bhutan in 1991. The Royal Government of Bhutan adheres strongly to a policy of low volume, high value tourism.
