 Bhutan General Information
The Kingdom of Bhutan is in many ways truly the Last Shangri-la. The geographical isolation has left
the country in a time warp - culture, traditions and way of life are more a reflection of past
centuries than of the 21st century.
Bhutan is the last bastion of Mahayana Buddhism. Against the backdrop of majestic Himalayas,
Buddhist spirit permeates almost all aspects of Bhutanese culture. Prayer flags flutter on the hills,
temples and dzongs dot the landscape, and religious festivals are celebrated through out the year.
Due to Bhutan's staunch conservation policies, the country's forests and environment are in
pristine condition. Bhutan is one of the "Biodiversity Hotspots" with greater than 200 mammels,
770 birds and more than 5400 plants.

follow the old trading route between different valleys. From the towering snow peaks of the inner
Himalayas to the verdant forests which cloak the hills above its peaceful valleys, the trails are clean,
unspoiled, and the wilderness still pristine in its' beauty.
