🇧🇹 About Bhutan
The Land of the Thunder Dragon
Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas between India and China, Bhutan is a small, landlocked kingdom known for its untouched natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and deep spiritual values. Often described as one of the world’s last great Himalayan kingdoms, Bhutan is a unique destination where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with modern values rooted in sustainability and happiness.
🌿 A Country Guided by Gross National Happiness
Unlike anywhere else in the world, Bhutan measures success not by economic growth alone but by Gross National Happiness (GNH)—a holistic approach that values spiritual well-being, environmental conservation, good governance, and cultural preservation.
