Bhutan, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a small, landlocked country in the Eastern Himalayas, bordered by China (Tibet) to the north and India to the south, east, and west. Often referred to as the “Land of the Thunder Dragon” (Druk Yul), Bhutan is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, pristine natural environment, rich cultural heritage, and unique approach to development guided by Gross National Happiness (GNH).

Bhutan’s topography ranges from subtropical plains in the south to soaring Himalayan peaks in the north, including Gangkhar Puensum, the world’s highest unclimbed mountain. The country is famous for its lush valleys, dense forests, terraced fields, and vibrant monasteries perched on cliffs. With over 70% of its land covered in forest and protected as national parks and reserves, Bhutan remains one of the world’s most environmentally sustainable nations.

Bhutan is a haven for adventure seekers, offering trekking, hiking, river rafting, and cultural tours. Trekkers can explore routes ranging from short day hikes to multi-week journeys, experiencing the country’s untouched wilderness, charming villages, sacred monasteries, and panoramic Himalayan views.
