Tucked away in the Himalayas Bhutan remains a country which evokes a sense of intense mystery. With the coming of the first surfaced road in the 1960s, Bhutan opened its doors to a handful of tourists in 1974, mostly at the invitation of the government. The Royal Bhutan Government has succeeded in maintaining Bhutan's cultural and spiritual heritage by strictly limiting the number of tourists that visit the Kingdom to a maximum of 5000 a year.
Bhutanese people have largely lived a life of isolation away from the rest of the world where western values have little or no impact here. The country has a wealth of culture and extreme charm, people are intensely religious which is very much in evidence throughout the Kingdom. In urban centers the spinning of prayer wheels the murmur of mantras and the glow of butter lamps are still important features of daily life.
Monasteries temples and religious monuments are dotted across the landscape where the importance of Buddhism can be seen in abundance, red robed monks, young and old, are everywhere mingling freely in towns and village markets.
Bhutan boasts a richness of Bio Diversity with almost three quarters of its land area covered by forest, it has been declared amongst the ten most prominent areas in the world for environmental protection . Its rich Himalayan flora and fauna, stunning snow capped peaks, lush valleys and rural landscapes never fail to impress. Bhutan is exclusive, expensive but very evocative.
