Bhutan is a small Himalayan kingdom located between India and China. Known as the “Land of the Thunder Dragon,” Bhutan is famous for its stunning mountains, rich culture, and peaceful way of life. The capital city is Thimphu, and the official language is Dzongkha.
Bhutan is unique because it values Gross National Happiness over economic growth. Visitors come to explore ancient monasteries, beautiful dzongs (fortresses), and enjoy outdoor activities like trekking and river rafting. Bhutan is committed to protecting its environment and culture by limiting tourism.
To visit Bhutan, tourists need a visa arranged through licensed tour operators. The best time to visit is during spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when the weather is pleasant and festivals take place.
