Bhutan is a purely Buddhist Himalayan Kingdom hidden in the eastern Himalayas between India and China(Tibet). It is as big as Switzerland, but sparsely inhabited (populated barely one million). Bhutan certainly exudes charm (magic, its devotees would say). The mountains are magnificent, the forests are dense, the
people are delightful, the air is pure the architecture imposing, the religion exciting, the art superb. There are no beggars, few thefts, little violent crime, and a traveller's personal safety is guaranteed. Public relations hype, you may be thinking : guidebooks or Tour operators often inflate their subject, but the surprising fact is that it's all true. For the occasional visitor, Bhutan is truly Shangri-La, a mythical country hidden deep in the mountains. |
