Bhutan
Bhutan
A small Himalayan kingdom under the protectorate of India wedged between Tibet and India, Bhutan is undoubtedly the preserved jewel of the Himalayas.
A constitutional monarchy where Tibetan Buddhism is the state religion, it is also the inventor of the concept of ‘Gross Domestic Happiness’, the index for evaluating the happiness of its inhabitants. To preserve its population – 700,000 inhabitants – the number of annual visitors has always been voluntarily limited and visas are only issued sparingly. It is therefore not possible to go there on an individual trip.
From the low plains of India, Bhutan rises to the Himalayan range (7,000m) which constitutes its natural border with Tibet. The strong monsoon rising from the Bay of Bengal ensures, like Sikkim, a lush vegetation of rhododendrons, magnolias and orchids (300 species), vast forests that cover most of the country and grassy expanses at the foot of the glaciers where herds of yaks graze.
