Best of Bhutan
ABOUT BHUTAN:
Tourism in Bhutan - the very words give us glimpses of a remote land replete with monks, monasteries, yaks, Buddhist art and much more. Nestled between India and China, Bhutan literally means “Thunder Dragon”. This kingdom is made up of The Sub-Himalayan Foothills, The Greater Himalayas and The Inner Himalayas. And one of its biggest charms is that it measures the happiness quotient, making it the happiest country in the world. Modern life has touched it but not too much. Everyone has mobiles now and monks can be seen with laptops, but you will still get a rural village feel, even in Thimpu, its capital.
