BHUTAN
Embedded beneath the snow white folds of the high Himalayas, lies Druk Yul, - the Land of the peaceful Dragon, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, the last Shangrila.
|
Bhutan is an enchanted realm, a rare combination of harmony and accord in a land of incredible natural beauty Untainted by the baser aspects of the outside world and poor as far as material interpretations of the western world are concerned, Bhutan retains its integrity and distinctive way of life.
There are no beggars here. Instead, the Bhutanese are fiercely patriotic, self-sufficient and have an amazing quality of humour
and courtesy. Sparsely populated and jealously guarded in its isolation,
Buddhist teaching and philosophy are influential in this land, the last
of the Himalayan Kingdoms
. |
The number of tourists allowed into Bhutan is limited and hence this paradise always lies off the beaten track.
