Bhutan

Bhutan is a kingdom like no other, where success is measured in "Gross National Happiness." It intentionally opened to tourism late, in 1974, with a "High Value, Low Impact" policy that preserves its pristine environment and unique Buddhist culture. A trip here means exploring magnificent cliff-side monasteries like the Tiger's Nest, ancient fortresses (Dzongs), and lush valleys, all while experiencing a culture deeply rooted in tradition and compassion.
