The isolated mountain kingdom of Bhutan was hidden from the world until the 1970s. Bordering India in the south and Tibet in the north in a span of just 90 miles, Bhutan is a country of tremendous geographic diversity. From an altitude of 1,000 feet in the southern foothills, the mountains rise beyond 23,000 feet to form the great peaks of the Himalayan mountain chain.

Bhutanese have been extremely cautious in the modernization and development
of their country. Only a small number of tourists are allowed into Bhutan
each year and independent travel by foreigners is restricted. These practices
have resulted in the preservation of Bhutan's unique culture and religion,
and the conservation of the country's incredible natural beauty. The tranquil
valleys, majestic mountains and rural farmlands adorned with colorful
Buddhist monasteries will leave you with lifelong impressions of a country
of unparalleled beauty.
