Bhutan: A Vision of Balance and Transformation in the Himalayas
The Land of the Thunder Dragon
Perched high at 3,000 meters above sea level, Bhutan offers a striking blend of raw natural beauty and deep-rooted traditions. Known locally as Drul, meaning "the land of the thunder dragon," this small Himalayan kingdom shares borders with India's vibrant plains and China’s expansive territories. Long celebrated for its unspoiled landscapes, spiritual heritage, and cultural pride, Bhutan is often romanticized as the world's last Shangri-La—an untouched paradise nestled within the Himalayas.
