Majestic mountains and monasteries
Enigmatic, unspoilt and deeply spiritual, the Kingdom of Bhutan is regarded as one of the world’s last ‘Shangri‐La’s’. It measures its wealth not by GDP but by ‘Gross National Happiness’, is carbon negative by absorbing more carbon than it emits and has environmental legislation which stipulates that least 60% of the country must remain forested for all future generations; it currently stands above 70%. For a limited number of visitors, this means peaceful forests, authentic cultural heritage and a sense of spiritual purity.
Visiting Bhutan you can spend your time hiking among the pristine Himalayas, admiring fortress-like dzongs, attending cultural festivals and visiting teetering monasteries such as the famous ‘Tigers Nest’, perched on a rocky ledge 900m above the Paro Valley floor. Nature lovers will delight in spotting 700 species of birds, over 50 species of rhododendron, and plenty of wildlife including golden langur, blue sheep and even snow leopards. Browsing and shopping for textiles and handicrafts you’ll find artisanal craftsmanship is proudly preserved along with age‐old social customs and traditions. If you are jaded by having ‘done and seen it all’, a visit to this beautiful and unique pocket of Asia is a must for you.
