Nestled in the Himalayas is the idyllic nation of Bhutan – the world’s only democratic monarchy. Bhutan cautiously emerged from isolation in the 1970’s and has since embraced a policy of strictly controlled tourism and development. This is what makes our adventure tour so special.
Bhutan is a rare gem. In 2006 approximately 12,000 tourists were permitted to enter and taste the delights of Bhutan’s wonderful Buddhist culture. These travellers were allowed to marvel at her magnificent scenery, trek through a stunning array of mountains and valleys and to view some of the world’s rarest flora and fauna in a totally unspoiled environment. Bhutan offers sensational opportunities for Eco-friendly visitors and continues to refrain from indulging in mass-market tourism, despite a small increase in visitor numbers being approved.
Bhutan has resisted globalisation and therefore has protected its strong Buddhist culture and way of life. There is little crime, a stable government and exceptionally friendly people. Whether you are a bird-watcher, trekker, weaver, culture seeker or scenery lover, Bhutan is a must see destination like no other.
