Bhutan
or 'Druk Yul' - the mythical Land of its dramatic landscapes,
architecture and fabulous bio-diversity as for its rich
and colourful cultural herigate. Today, when the cultural
boundaries in almost every part of the world are steadily
becoming blurred, this fascinating Dragon Kingdom is credited
with successfully retaining its distinct, and exotic.
Being a staunch Buddhist country , every aspect of Bhutan,
from its society, culture, arts, crafts, traditions and
architeture is greatly influenced by religion.
Here, the awe-inspiring valleys and mountain passes, daunting
heights of the countless Himalayan mountains, sprawling
glaciers and huge moraines, stupendous waterfalls and
crystal lakes, deep gorges, verdant slopes and vast undulating
flower-studded meadows, dense forests and srub jungles
vividly illustrate the varying moods of mother nature.
As of now, this Himalayan wonderland is fast emerging
as a favoured destination for the discerning traveller,
specially those interested in experiencing its unique
and distinctive culture, hard and soft trekking, wildlife-watching,
and rural and eco- tourism.
