The Kingdom
of Bhutan (DRUK YUL , Land of the Thunder Dragon), was only
opened to tourists in limited numbers from 1974. This
Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom is proud of its geographical
diversity ranging from 100 m in the tropical south to the
7554 m Kula Kangri on the mountainous Tibetan border. It is
an exotic land of High Mountains and lush valleys, snow-clad
peaks and clear running springs, a pristine ecology and an
incredible wealth of wildlife. Hidden in the eastern
Himalayas between India and Tibet, this sparsely populated
country is the last surviving Mahayana Buddhist State and
The Last Paradise on Earth. Bhutan- the last paradise on the
earth reflects age-old religion, culture, arts &
architecture in its golden peaks in the background of deep
green valley and hillside. Bhutan is very rich at Himalayan
flora and fauna. Nearly three quarters of the total area
covered by Jungle. |
