A striking and sacred space shrouded in myth, Bhutan is filled with grand examples of its extraordinary beliefs and traditional heritage, from the awe-inspiring architecture of its mountain forts and monasteries to the images of Buddhist religious figures painted or carved onto craggy rock faces. Observe prayer flags fluttering in spectacular mountain passes, prayer wheels slowly turning with the current of clear mountain streams, and majestic Dzongs standing guard over picturesque towns.
Offering a staggering variety of landscapes, Bhutan is set within one of the world’s most breathtaking mountain chains, famed for its high mountaintops and range of trekking opportunities. Blessed with an array of fabulous flora, some of which is endemic, Bhutan is also home to a wide range of exceptional and endangered wildlife, including the black-necked crane, Asian elephant, tiger, red panda, Asiatic black bear, Himalayan musk deer, sloth bear, snow leopard, dhole, and Tibetan wolf.
