Bhutan, a small Himalayan kingdom nestled between India and China, is a land of breathtaking natural beauty and deeply rooted cultural traditions. Known as the "Land of the Thunder Dragon," Bhutan captivates visitors with its pristine landscapes, from snow-capped mountains and lush valleys to serene rivers and dense forests. Feel at peace among the various dzongs (fortress Buddhist monasteries) as you climb high into the mountains to experience the solitude, reverence, and peace that centuries of monks have sought out. And every visitor to Bhutan will be delighted by the elaborate tsuches (religious festivals) held throughout the year – complete with colorfully masked dancers, drums, and large crowds of gathered locals.
