Hidden in the eastern Himalayas, the remote kingdom of Bhutan is one of the world's happiest countries and the only one to measure its Gross National Happiness. Off limits to tourists until 1974, today intrepid travellers can bask in the nation’s beautiful mountain scenery and explore its forts, monasteries and markets.
Living in harmony with their beautiful landscape, the Bhutanese believe the natural environment is home to their most revered Gods and spirits and the source of all life. This Buddhist nation takes pride in its unique culture with its festivals, monasteries, carved wooden houses and intricate crafts.
To protect its pristine environment, only a limited amount of lucky individuals are allowed to visit the glorious ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’ each year. Bhutan holidays will introduce you to a magical destination of cultural and historical integrity, tales of legendary heroism and spectacular natural beauty.
Choose from a wide selection of Asia holidays.
