Spanning the Eastern side of the Himalayan Mountain range, Bhutan is a country of sublime natural beauty, unwavering dedication to the national religion and a majesty that is difficult to describe. The dramatic landscape makes it one of the most difficult countries to traverse but if you’re willing to make the effort it is incredibly rewarding. The governmental restrictions surrounding tourism in Bhutan mean that it is not overwhelmed by backpackers and tourists, making a journey through this land more exclusive and ultimately more luxurious. There is a calmness and a kindness here, and with a national focus on Gross Domestic Happiness, it is easy to come away feeling immersed in an entirely new culture.
