Bhutan, a country the size of Switzerland, sparsely
populated with barley one million people, is a land of
contrasts, lush forested valleys, fortified monasteries and
sacred virgin mountains. The small 'Dragon' Kingdom of
Bhutan lies hidden in the Eastern Himalayas between
India and Tibet. The country's thriving religion,
Buddhism, can be seen everywhere in the form of
fluttering prayer flags, whirling prayer wheels and
imposing hilltop monasteries. With tradition being of
paramount importance, Bhutan's people have a natural
warmth and charm and the Kingdom's inherent culture
remains strong, as is revealed during this journey. You will
see men practicing the national sport of archery, women
selling mushrooms from road side stalls and houses
painted with colorful signs. Monasteries, markets,
bazaars, breathtaking mountain passes; all this and a lot
more against the backdrop of the stupendous mountains.
