About Bhutan

A hidden Bhutan in the Himalayas between China to north and India to the south.

Bhutan, the Land of Gross National Happiness (GNH) is indeed the Last Shangri-La. With a population of around 0.8 million, is thinly spread over 46,500 square kilometers with varied climatic conditions ranging from the sub-tropical in the south to the cold reaches of almost 25,000 feet snow-capped mountains in the north. Bhutan was reign more than hundred years under Wangchuk’s Dynasty system and peacefully transitioned to the constitution democratic system in 2008. In fact, it was the gift of fourth King of Bhutan.

Bhutan still enjoys the reputation of having their nature and environment in a pristine state with more than 70 percent of their area under forest cover and Bhutan is the only carbon negative country in the world. Bhutan has the highest unclimbed mountains Gangkar Puensum (7,570 meters) to name one, in the world and, perhaps Bhutan’s Constitution is the only one that mandates at least 60% of the country to be under forest cover at all times.

In the early sixties, the country was introduced to the outside world as a Shangri-La and however, the Kingdom of Bhutan opened its doors to tourists only in 1974 under a careful regulated programme "High value, Low volume" policy and later to "High value, Low impact”. Thus, tourism tariff of Bhutan is little expensive compared to rest of Asia since, a tourist have to pay royalty to the government @ $ 65 per night per person towards sustainable development fund and US$ @ 40 & 30 for a group of one and two people respectively as surcharge. Due to this policy the number of tourist are not in large numbers where, one can enjoy a tour holiday in utmost tranquil environment, and peacefully. It is ensured, going to Bhutan has no limitation to any citizen in the world and avail visa for a maximum of 90 days.

Bhutan is known for its unspoilt ancient cultures and traditions. For Bhutan, past is still the present, and it is because of having Mahayana Buddhism (Greater Vehicle) conveying about the “Law of Karma (Cause & Casualty)” that plays a vital role in taking care of nature, culture and traditions. Bhutan is one of the last areas still pristine in all its nature, where nature and people live in harmony. Untainted flora, un-hunted fauna, rare botanical plants, the colourful birds and rare bird species in the rest of the world are found in Bhutan due to its rich preservation and conservation of the forest. Bhutan, the scenic beauty offers a great treat for both young and old for photography. On the other, festivals of diversities depict its great cultural of past dating back to the 750 century history giving a splendid wisdom to the world.

What Bhutan can offer today is what others do not have at all. Bhutan is virtually a very unique destination and is priceless. Unlike past, Bhutan is ready with luxury accommodation, Shopping Paradise, Dazzling Nightlife, so on and so forth. Bhutan is great for the adventurous and a treat for the sore eyes.

喜马拉雅山上隐藏着不丹，位于中国北部和印度南部之间

不丹，国民幸福总值(GNH)的土地，确实是最后的香格里拉。它拥有约80万人口，稀疏地分布在46,500平方公里的土地上，气候条件多种多样，从南部的亚热带地区到北部近25,000英尺的冰雪覆盖的寒冷山脉。不丹在旺楚克王朝制度下统治了100多年，并于2008年和平过渡到宪法民主制度。事实上，它是不丹第四国王的礼物。

不丹仍然享有自然和环境原始状态的美誉，70%以上的地区被森林覆盖，不丹是世界上唯一的负碳国家。不丹拥有世界上最高的未攀爬山脉Gangkar Puensum(7570米)，也许不丹的宪法是唯一规定该国至少60%的地区必须一直被森林覆盖的宪法。

在六十年代早期，这个国家被作为香格里拉介绍给外面的世界，然而，不丹王国只有在1974年在一项精心管理的“高价值，低产量”政策下才向游客开放，后来又转向了“高价值，低影响”。因此,旅游不丹没有昂贵的关税以来亚洲其它地区相比,旅游需要支付版税@每人每晚65美元政府对可持续发展基金和@ 40 & 30美元为一组,两人分别作为附加费。由于这一政策，游客的数量不是很多，在那里，人们可以享受一个旅游假期在最大的宁静的环境，和平。这是可以保证的，去不丹对世界上的任何公民都没有限制，可以获得最多90天的签证。

不丹以其未受破坏的古老文化和传统而闻名。对不丹来说，过去仍然是现在，这是因为有大乘佛教(大乘佛教)所传达的“因果法则”，在保护自然、文化和传统方面起着至关重要的作用。不丹是最后几个仍保持原始自然状态的地区之一，在那里，自然和人民和睦相处。纯净的植物，未被猎杀的动物，稀有的植物，色彩鲜艳的鸟类和稀有鸟类物种在世界其他地方发现不丹由于其丰富的保护和保护森林。不丹，美丽的风景为年轻人和老年人的摄影提供了绝佳的享受。另一方面，各种各样的节日描绘了其过去的伟大文化，可以追溯到750世纪的历史，给世界一个灿烂的智慧。

今天不丹所能提供的是其他国家所没有的。不丹实际上是一个非常独特的目的地，也是无价的。不像过去，不丹有豪华的住宿，购物天堂，令人眼花缭乱的夜生活，等等。不丹很适合冒险的人，也很适合眼睛疼痛的人。
