If there ever was a land trapped in time, colorful in religion and people, landscape as varied as the climate and a place of happiness, then it's Bhutan.
Squashed between the mega giants of Asia, India and china, bhutan has relatively been a closed nation until recently. A mainly Buddhist state, it's people are warm and hospitable with a unique and rich cultural heritage leading to compassion and happiness being paramount above all else.
The total area coverage of Bhutan is sq km, but the distance from the southern foothills to the majestic Himalayas is very short and hence the climate, flora and fauna differs vastly in a relatively short distance as we move up. Elephants and tigers in the south, white bellied herons and red pandas in the central forests and snow leopards and takins in the freezing north, Bhutan's biodiversity is formidable.
Buddhism, archery, the gho(male national dress) and the kira(female national dress) are the national identity and passion of the Bhutanese people. There is no other place like this and it is ongoing a crucial period in its history, so visit now to be a part of a unique period in human history and maybe you might also find the lost shangrila in you.
