Nestling in the Himalayas, the kingdom of Bhutan is bordered by Tibet in the north and India in the south. It is roughly the size of Switzerland. With its closely guarded culture and traditions, and well-conserved pristine natural environment, Bhutan is unique and fascinating in many ways.

Bhutan is the last surviving Mahayana Buddhist state which has shaped the nation's history, and it still plays a vital role in the everyday life.
