TRIP TO BHUTAN OVERVIEW:

A mysterious Himalayan kingdom, Bhutan is a serene place where Buddhism is the essential foundation interwoven throughout daily life. Intense storms in these dramatic mountains gave Bhutan its name which means “Land of the Thunder Dragon.” The landscape of deep valleys, lush forests and striking mountains is treasured by the Bhutanese people. Wildlife such as the golden langur, endangered snow leopard, black-necked crane, and takin, the national animal of Bhutan, call this stunning country home.

Bhutan maintained its independence for hundreds of years and remained closed to the outside world until 1974. Today, the country remains off the beaten path: full of vibrant culture and natural wonders that few people have the chance to experience. Bhutan’s constitutional monarchy aims to preserve traditional Bhutanese values and a quality of life that centers around spiritual values. This has been famously measured in terms of “Gross National Happiness.”
