The Kingdom of Bhutan is a Country nestled in the
Eastern Himalayas known as Drukyul (in
Dzongkha) Land of Thunder Dragon, and its
people are known as Drukpas. Bhutan, the
last Shangri-La, independent Himalayan Buddhist
Kingdom fondly maintains its tradition. It has one
foot in the past and one in the future. The
Himalayas in the north separate the Tibetan
Autonomous Region of China, while the rugged eastern
region borders the Indian State of Arunachal
Pradesh, in the south by Assam and west Bengal and
in the west by Sikkim.
Bhutan is a sanctuary of magnificent scenery in the
heart of Himalayas. The countrys history stretches
back to the origins of Buddhism and its spiritually
rich people are enterprising, Pragmatic and
delightfully humorous. They live in harmony with
nature and have evolved a unique identity derived
largely from a religious and cultural heritage. The
Kingdom of Bhutan lies in the eastern Himalayas,
between Tibet to the north and the Indian
territories of Assam and west Bengal to the south |
