Nestled in the Himalayan mountain ranges, Bhutan is blissfully untouched. Here you can step back in time and experience a life of ancient tradition playing out in front of you. Bhutan’s location in the mighty Himalaya has protected it from the rest of the world and left it unspoilt through the centuries. For example, the Bhutanese people still wear traditional dress while archery is a national sport.
The Drukpa Kagyupa school of Mahayana Buddhism is prevalent and has left the country with a rich culture and a fascinating history. The Bhutanese people have protected this sacred heritage and unique identity for centuries by choosing to remain shrouded in a closely guarded isolation.
