Trip Introduction

The Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan lies along the lofty ridges of the eastern Himalayas. The country forms a giant staircase, from a narrow strip of land in the south to some of the highest unexplored Himalayan peaks on earth with an area of 38,750 square kilometers, roughly the size of Switzerland and fondly referred to as Druk Yul (Land of the Thunder Dragon) by the Bhutanese. Though the original name from the time of Marco Polo was ‘Bootan’.Bhutan has remained a country where are old customs and traditions are still part of the everyday lives of the people, even while modernization and the strains of global influence are felt more and more. Its isolation, spectacular mountains, varied flora and fauna, ancient Buddhist monasteries, vibrant culture, and mystic aura have made the last paradise on earth becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination. It’s population about 600000 is composed of three main ethnic groups. They are Sharchopas considered to be the earliest inhabitants living in the eastern part; Ngalops migrated from Tibetan plains living in the western part and Lhotsanmpas Nepalese origin living southern part in the early twentieth century. Bhutan’s topography is one of dramatic contrast from the near-tropical southern border with India at an altitude of 300m. the land rises to culminate in the over 7000m. peaks of the Himalaya in the north which form a natural frontier with the Tibetan region of its northern neighbor China. Bhutan’s living culture is Tsechus which is the major and popular national festival celebrating in most of the Dzongs lasting 3-4 days.
