About Bhutan

Well Come to Bhutan


Bhutan Official name Druk-yul or Druk Tsendhen, “land of the thunder dragon” is a small, land-locked mountainous nation in Asia, located in the eastern Himalaya Mountains north of India and south of China. To the west, it is separated from Nepal by the Indian state of Sikkim, while farther south it is separated from Bangladesh by the Indian states of Assam and West Bengal. Bhutan’s capital and largest city is Thimphu. The current population is approximately 750,000.

This is also a special country with 72 percent of the land under forest cover, pristine environment, habitat to rare and endangered flora and fauna. The Bhutanese have treasured their rich natural environment as it is seen as a source of all life and the abode of the gods and spirits

The National Language of Bhutan is Dzongkha which three main ethnic groups, the Sharchops, Ngalops and the Lhotsampas (of Nepalese origin), make up today’s Drukpa population.

It is a country with a strong ancient Buddhist culture and almost completely cut off for centuries to avoid foreign influences.

Bhutan began to open up very slowly to outsiders in the 1970s.
Tourism today is privatized by the Royal Government of Bhutan in 1991 but still restricted; travel is only possible as part of a pre-arranged package or guided tour.

Visitors and guests to the country will be surprised that the culture and the traditional lifestyle is still richly intact and at the degree to which it permeates all strands of modern day secular life. From the traditional woven garments to the prayer flags on high mountain slopes, from the built environment to the natural environment, from the religious mask dances to the folk dances, this cultural heritage is proudly evident and offers a unique cultural setting
