The Kingdom of Bhutan

The Kingdom of Bhutan is a gem nestled in the Himalayas of South Asia, bordered by China to the north and India to the south. Its capital, Thimphu, known locally as Druk-Yul, meaning “Dragon Country,” enchants with its rich culture, traditions, and art.

Despite its small size and population, Bhutan boasts an extraordinary cultural heritage. The landscape is dotted with hundreds of sacred monasteries, stupas, religious institutions, prayer flags, and Buddhist prayer wheels. These spiritual landmarks add to the serene and exotic atmosphere of the Bhutanese countryside.

Bhutan’s unique approach to development prioritizes the happiness and well-being of its people. The nation’s kings emphasize that true wealth is measured not by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) but by Gross National Happiness (GNH). This philosophy ensures that progress is aligned with the contentment of the population.

As the world’s only surviving Buddhist kingdom, Bhutan offers an ideal retreat for those seeking unforgettable travel experiences. Its pristine natural environment shelters a diverse array of exotic wildlife and birds, including endangered species such as the black-necked crane, blue sheep (nakhur), golden langur, takin, and the royal Bengal tiger.

Adventure seekers will be thrilled by Bhutan’s dramatic landscapes, home to the world’s highest unconquered peaks in the Himalayas. The Snowman Trek, one of the globe’s most challenging and least explored treks, awaits the intrepid explorer. Additionally, the world-renowned Taktshang Monastery, also known as the Tiger's Nest, is a must-visit site that captivates all who see it.

Bhutan is a year-round destination, offering a variety of accommodations to suit every taste. Discover the Kingdom of Bhutan with Orpheus Luxury Travel & Tours and enjoy a unique holiday in this exotic and unexplored country any time of the year!
