Bhutan

The Land of the Dragon. Country of consecrated happiness.

Remote and isolated Bhutan, whose local name means Land of the Dragon, is a Buddhist kingdom located in the far east of the Himalayas, squeezed between the giants India and China.

In no other country in the world, regardless of the regime in place, is the right to happiness enshrined in the constitution and this is one of the peculiarities of the small and exotic kingdom of Bhutan, where the king and a specialised commission monitor the so-called Gross Domestic Happiness Index (GDP).

Having lived for so long practically isolated from the rest of the world, the Land of the Dragon has managed to preserve its traditions and maintain harmony. One of the most unspoilt, peaceful and spiritual countries in the world. During your discovery of this extraordinary country, you'll be struck by the breathtakingly beautiful landscapes that range from subtropical plains to steep mountains and deep valleys. In the High Himalayas, peaks such as Jomolhari, 7,326 metres high, are popular destinations. Bhutan is known for its monasteries and fortresses (or dzongs). The sacred Buddhist monastery of Taktsang (also known as Tiger's Nest), one of the most famous in the country, is located on the cliffs above the Paro Valley and is not to be missed.

Add a population of exceptional hospitality and a traditional culture that is practically intact and you have all the ingredients for a unique and breathtaking trip.
