The Kingdom of Bhutan, or the Land of the Thunder Dragon, basks in a secluded spot in the eastern Himalaya. Magnificent mountains, lush fields, thick forests, traditional lifestyle and a serene atmosphere are what Bhutan offers. Life goes on as it used to in the past, uncomplicated and peaceful, in this quiet sanctuary of art, culture and Buddhism. The Mahayana school of Buddhism flourishes in Bhutan in its purest form.

The monasteries hum with the sound of monks reciting the scriptures and gaily decorated houses brighten up its quaint towns. Bhutan is like a trip into another world, into an exotic era untouched by modernization.
