About Bhutan
Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, is a tiny Himalayan kingdom that has fiercely preserved its culture and environment. It measures prosperity through Gross National Happiness rather than GDP. From the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery clinging to a cliff face to the vibrant tshechu festivals, Bhutan offers an experience unlike anywhere else on Earth. The country's commitment to carbon negativity and its policy of 'high value, low impact' tourism make it a truly unique destination.
