Welcome to Bhutan: one of the worlds most pristine and Gross National Happiness

Bhutan is a small kingdom nestled in the eastern Himalayas. Alluded to as the last ‘ Shangri-la” today Bhutan is one of global tourism’s hot- spots not only by virtue of its unique and progressive characteristics but also because of its ‘ High Quality, Low Volume tourism.Bhutan is famous as a kingdom that propounds Gross National Happiness over Gross Domestic Product. This principle is a radical approach in development paradigm. It upholds the integrity of traditional values in social, cultural, and environmental and the political realm whilst still being on a rapid march towards modernization and development. This governing philosophy is a unifying national concept that attributed humane values to the prevailing economic emphasis of   development.

Abetted by centuries of isolation, Bhutan has now consciously evolved into the modern age.  As a respected member of the comity of nations, Bhutan has preserved a vibrant traditional cultural and a rich and largely intact natural environment.Bhutan has acquired the label of being one of the most authentic destinations on the global tourist map. The cultural ethos and the vibrant way of life as encapsulated in the dress codes, elaborate festivals, Bhutan’s Strict environmental codes has successfully preserved a treasure trove of flora and fauna. Today the kingdom maintains as impressive forest cover of almost 70%.
