BHUTAN
Bhutan belongs to the seven former kingdoms around the Himalayas called Ladakh, Zanskar, Nepal, Leh, Sikkim, Bhutan and Tibet. If you're lucky you can be one of the few tourists let into Bhutan each year. No other Himalayan state protects its cultural and natural wealth so conscientiously as this Buddhist kingdom. Tourism is strongly controlled in order to protect traditional values. The country is a paradise for nature lovers as the devout Buddhists don't kill any animals. There are no televisions or other luxury western products and the Bhutanese people are proud of the fact that there is a high percentage of people who return home after studying abroad having decided that this endearing country with its captivating people is more important than Coca Cola, DVD players, hamburgers etc. . | All visitors who arrive by plane land in Paro with the national airline Druk-Air. Individual travel is not possible. You are given a guide and driver and if you are as lucky as we were you will be driven through the country as a two man mini group and every wish is fulfilled - even if you've got it into your head to make a traditional bow and arrow yourself! |
