Bhutan

Bhutan information’s (Land of the Thunder Dragon):
Druk Yul, land of the Thunder Dragon, as Bhutan is known, is regarded as the last paradise on earth. The kingdom is flanked on the north and northwest by Tibet, the plains of northwest India to the south and southwest and the hills of Indian’s northwestern state of Arunachal Pradesh to the east. This Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is fast emerging from centuries of self-imposed isolation. First opened in a very regulated manner to tourists in 1974 on the auspicious occasion of coronation day of Bhutan’s present king, this mountain kingdom is still perhaps the world’s most exclusive tourist destination.
This fabulous Himalayan Kingdom is jeweled with pointed shrines, forts, hamlets, Buddhist monasteries and picturesque valleys of the eternal highlands.In addition, the country has become a paradise for trekkers and mountaineers. In the dense jungles of south and the coniferous forest of the north roam wide elephant, tigers, Himalayan bears, Musk deers, blue mountain sheep and the rare clouded leopards on the verge of extinction. Birds and butterflies about in the trees, festooned with orchids trailing moss
