Bhutan, traditionally called "Druk Yul", The Land of the Thunder Dragon, is a landlocked southern Asian nation, nestled in the heart of the greater Himalayas. For centuries Bhutan has remained remote from the rest of the world, unheard of by most. Not until 1974 were its doors cautiously opened; hence, the environment remains pristine, the scenery and architecture awesome, and the people hospitable and charming.
Tourist literature depicts Bhutan as a Shangri-La, one of the last surviving refugees of traditional Himalayan Buddhist culture. After your first visit to Bhutan, you will be able to attest to this fact.
