Bhutan

Bhutan is perhaps one of the very few pockets remaining of adventure destinations hitherto untouched by modernization – A Shangri-La. Situated in the Great Himalayan range;   it is bordered by Tibet in the north & to its south by India. As a purely Buddhist country, it has a rich & unique culture, tradition & way of life which still remains pristine. Traveling in Bhutan is like being transported back to medieval time & age.
