 Bhutan

Bhutan is a land of dramatic contrasts. Wedged between two giant neighbours, India and China, its terrain ranges from the tropical southern foothills near sea level to dizzying heights of over 7,300 metres (24,000 feet.) A visitor can travel through different ecological zones, from the tropical to the snow-capped peaks near the Tibetan plateau.bhuran.jpg

Bhutan is one of the protected land and left blissfully untouched from the rest of the world for a centuries. The Drukpa Kagyu school of Mahayana Buddhism provided the essence of a rich culture and a fascinating history. The Bhutanese people protected this sacred heritage and unique identity for centuries by choosing to remain shrouded deep in a jealously guarded isolation. 

For the sensitive visitor who will respect the delicate sensitivities of this pristine land and share the sacred values of its people, Bhutan has now gently opened its doors. A limited number of people are now allowed in every year for carefully organised cultural tours, trekking and climbing, or just absorbing its untouched beauty covered by more than 64 percent of the land area by forest.

Travel Tips
Seasons: In Bhutan, every new season brings with it new surprises and discoveries. Summer are pleasant with light monsoon showers. The heaviest rain falls in the months of July and August. Autumn days are warm with cool nights and the golden glow of the season engulf the valleys in October and November. Winter is a surprising period for most visitors who will find crisp, pleasantly warm days with clear blue skies. Daytime temperature range between 13-18 degrees Celsius and evening temperatures drop to below
freezing point. Spring is the season of new growth and wildflowers and life begins to stir once again after the sleepy winter months in some of the valleys.

Bhutan airline, Druk Air, operates regular flights from major cities into the kingdom's airport in the picturesque valley of Paro. You can catch direct connections from Bangkok, Delhi, Calcutta, Kathmandu or Dacca. Visa is possible to get at the airport on your arrival.

Accommodation:
There are comfortable hotels and lodges in all the districts. For the more adventurous, there is nothing like camping out under one of the clearest night skies you have ever seen.bhuran2.jpg
