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. |
