🌄 Overview: The Land of the Thunder Dragon

Bhutan, often referred to as “Druk Yul” or the Land of the Thunder Dragon, remains one of the last true Shangri-La’s of the Himalayas. Its stunning natural beauty, remote mountain terrain, rich biodiversity, and deeply rooted Buddhist heritage make it a destination unlike any other.

From breathtaking fortresses (Dzongs) and monasteries to fluttering prayer flags on high ridges and pristine waterfalls cascading through lush forests, Bhutan offers a timeless glimpse into a land where tradition and spirituality flourish.

With its untouched landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm-hearted people, Bhutan is not just a destination—it’s an experience of harmony, nature, and inner peace.
