Bhutan is best known to the world
today as the last Shangrila or
paradise. This country is known as
the Druk Yul or ‘Lord of the Thunder
Dragon’ among the natives. There are
snow-capped mountain peaks in the
north of Bhutan. The mountains are
as high as 7300m. There are high
alpine valleys and pastures, steamy
jungles in the Duars, plain in the
south of the country. Bhutan has a
blend of spectacular mountains,
forests, lakes, rich flora and
fauna, unpolluted, unspoiled and
pristine places with scenic beauty
of nature. The architectures in
Dzongs, buildings, houses and
ancient monasteries of Mahayana
Buddhist are worth seeing. Though
the country is small, its topography
varies from place to place
dramatically. The Bhutanese have
protected their sacred heritage and
unique identity for centuries by
choosing to remain shrouded in
guarded isolation. Quite a few
visitors who travelled to this
extraordinary kingdom have
discovered that there is no other
destination like this land of pure
and exotic mysticism.
