Bhutan
Bhutan is a small mountainous country situated in South Asia on the eastern slope of the Himalayas. It is a landlocked country bordered to the south, east and west by India and to the North by China with total area of 38,364 square kilometres. Bhutan shows that at a mere 38,364 square KM, it is one of the few countries blessed with a wide variety of ecosystems, high peaks, and dense forests with different species of flora and fauna. You can definitely expect adventure filled travel in this ‘land of roaring dragons’.
One of the most distinct and unique characteristic of Bhutan is that it is the only nation in the world that measure its progress in terms of Gross National Happiness unlike other nations which measure progress by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). With GNH approach, the country tries to ensure every citizen is happy and enjoy sufficient well-being. This concept, coined by His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck in the 1970s, is gaining huge popularity worldwide and has made Bhutan ‘the country of Gross National Happiness’.
Home to an extraordinary cluster of wildlife, Bhutan is one of the ten “bio-diversity hot stops” in the world. It is estimated that there are about 770 species of birds and over 50 species of rhododendron. Apart from that, Bhutan provides a home to diverse sub-tropical forests, evergreen oak forests, chir pine forests and alpine meadows among others. It has also rich wildlife with animals like snow leopard, tiger, water buffalo, elephant and blue sheep.
The Bhutanese are deeply religious and follow Mahayana Buddhism. Buddhism has been the major religion of Bhutan since the seventh century and is inculcated in every aspect of their life. Given such a belief which respects the natural environment, it is not surprising that Bhutanese have always lived in harmony with nature. Their culture and the environment is still unspoiled and intact as it was century ago.
Today, when all parts of the world have seen an increase in tourists, Bhutan has kept on following an approach of controlled tourism in order to safeguard its rich natural environment and culture. They follow the philosophy of Low Volume, High Value, which is extremely important to the country that so aggressively guards its natural beauty and values. Though the country opened its door to the world in the 70s, it has instituted strict rules and regulations regarding travel making Bhutan one of the least travelled nations on the planet. However, for the very few who are fortunate enough to travel to Bhutan, there are a wide variety of activities- from trekking to majestic Himalayas to panoramic mountain flights to take part in.
