Tourist Attractions in Bhutan

The Kingdom of Bhutan is a small country between China and India, lost at the very spurs of the Himalayas, a coveted dream of many travellers. In this marvellous state, instead of the dry economic term “”gross national product””, the concept of “”gross national happiness”” is used, and among government institutions there is the very real Ministry of Happiness.

Tibetan chronicles from two hundred years ago describe Bhutan as the “”Secret Holy Land”” and the “”Lotus Garden of the Gods””. The history of the Kingdom is quite interesting – for many centuries the country was not known to its powerful neighbours, it managed to avoid invasion of colonisers and penetration of foreign culture for a long time. Perhaps that is why it has preserved almost medieval identity and pristine nature.

Bhutan is a state where the inhabitants are still friendly and not spoilt, where there is practically no crime and hunger. Magnificent natural landscapes, purest mountain rivers, majestic peaks of the highest mountains on the planet and unique culture of local people, preserved almost unchanged since XV-XVI centuries, are waiting for the traveller.
