Hidden in the eastern Himalayas between Indian and China (Tibet), Bhutan--known to the world as the last Shangri-La, has a rare combination of harmony and accord amidst a landscape of incredible beauty. Few places remain as mysterious as Bhutan. It is probably, the only protected Himalayan paradise still thriving in its natural splendor. The kingdom of Bhutan has remained a hidden secret by choice for many years. Today, the kingdom has gently opened its door to the visitors, and a small number of people are welcomed to explore this fascinating and mysterious land, which respect the delicate sensitivities of this pristine land and shares the sacred values of its people.
Protected mighty Himalayas from the rest of the world, this sparsely populated country of one million people is the last surviving Mahayana Buddhist State. The teaching of Mahayana Buddhism are the living faith of Bhutanese people and the religious sites and institutions are the home of its people.
