Bhutan calls itself Druk Yul, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, and it remains one of the only countries on Earth that measures its progress in Gross National Happiness rather than GDP alone.
Wedged between India and China along the eastern Himalayas, this small kingdom of dzongs, prayer flags, and forested valleys deliberately keeps its visitor numbers low so its culture and landscape stay intact.
A well-planned Bhutan tour is still one of the most rewarding and least crowded Himalayan experiences you can book anywhere in the world.
