Insight Nepal | BHUTAN - The Land of Thunder Dragon

Search for :

Perched high in the serene reaches of the great Himalayas, lies a tiny mountain kingdom called 'DRUK YUL'.

Fabled with mysticism, and adorned with incomparable natural beauty this land of the Thunder Dragon remained a land of mystery till it opened its door to the world recently.

This fairy tale land has the world's greatest concentration of mountains. Purely a Buddhist kingdom, Bhutan is probably the last country on earth where modernization has not changed its century old traditional culture.

Bhutan is a land with tales of rulers dressed in silken robes living in lofty castles clinging to the side of mountains; of rivers plunging through high mountain passes through valleys; of winding trails through hill and dense forests of rhododendrons and wild orchids; of exotic birds and animals; of Dzongs and monasteries filled with the hum of monks reciting scriptures and of colorful houses dotting the landscape.

Bhutan is like a trip to another world, into an exotic era untouched by modernization.
