🌏 Destination Overview
Bhutan is a serene and mystical Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas, known for its 'Gross National Happiness.' Tiger's Nest Monastery hangs on a cliff 3,000 meters high, wreathed in mist like a fairyland, and trekking up is the classic pilgrimage; the dzongs of Paro and Thimphu are solemn and timeless, with prayer flags fluttering between valleys and terraced rice fields. The country limits visitor numbers and carefully protects its traditions and nature, making it a secluded paradise where you can truly quiet your mind.
