Overview
Small but mighty, drastic in beauty but humble in charm, the best thing about Bhutan is that it feels little discovered. With an attractive patchwork of landscapes, laid back towns, lush mountains, and lifeblood rivers, it is a country which gets under your skin almost instantly. Bhutan, the land of happiness unfurls a trove of archaeological treasures from ornate temples, mighty fortresses and mystic monasteries to beautiful traditional villages and snow-capped peaks rising above the forests.
There is not a single colour you cannot see while attending any Bhutanese festival. Extravagant costumed dance acts, beguiling fire performances, narratives recited from the legends, eloquent yet showy masks – all elements blend together give birth to the vibrance and ardour carried by the festivities of Bhutan that attract travellers from across the globe. From its textiles and handicrafts, it is outrageous archery competitions, the high-altitude trekking trails to stunning flora and fauna, the land of the thunder dragon has all the charms under the sun.
