Bhutan, officially known as the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked country located in the Eastern Himalayas in South Asia. It shares borders with China to the north and India to the south, east, and west. Bhutan is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and a unique approach to governance and development.
Bhutan's natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring. The country is blessed with majestic mountains, deep valleys, pristine rivers, and dense forests. The towering peaks of the Himalayas dominate the northern region, with the iconic Mount Jomolhari being one of the most famous. These breathtaking landscapes make Bhutan a popular destination for trekkers and nature enthusiasts.
Ringed by snow-covered mountains and covered by fertile valleys and lush forests, the Bhutanese landscape is picture perfect. With pristine forests covering seventy percent of the country’s surface area, Bhutan is the only carbon neutral country in the world. Deeply spiritual and believing in living harmoniously with their surroundings, the Bhutanese measure their country’s growth using the unique ‘Gross Happiness Index’ instead of GDP (gross domestic product).
You can take short day hikes to hilltop monasteries or stroll around traditional villages, interacting with the locals. Taktsang Monastery, or Tiger’s Nest hike, which takes you to an iconic Buddhist monastery built on the face of a rocky cliff, is one of the most popular day hikes among tourists.
For those who love adventure, Bhutan offers some of the best high-altitude trekking. The trails weave past the foothills of 7000 and 6000 meter peaks and, pristine forests with no human settlements or villages en route. The Druk Path Trek, Laya Gasa Trek, Chomolhari Trek, and the Snowman Trek are some of the popular treks in Bhutan.
