Bhutan, often referred to as the “Land of the Thunder Dragon,” is a magical country nestled in the Eastern Himalayas! This enchanting destination is known for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and unique approach to happiness. Unlike any other place on Earth, Bhutan measures its success not by GDP but by Gross National Happiness (GNH)—how incredible is that?

As you explore Bhutan’s lush valleys and majestic mountains, you’ll discover an array of beautiful monasteries and dzongs (fortresses), each telling tales of rich history and spirituality. From the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery perched high on a cliff to the colorful festivals that light up the streets with music and dance, there’s something wonderfully captivating everywhere you turn!
