Land of the Thunder Dragon
The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan is fast emerging from centuries of self imposed isolation. First opened to tourists in 1974 at the time of the coronation of the present Bhutanese King, this mountain kingdom is perhaps the world's most exclusive tourists destination. Bhutan, hidden in the eastern Himalayas, is an exotic land of Mahayana Buddhism, pristine environment, high mountains, alpine forests and lush valleys. It is a fascinating land of immense natural beauty coupled with its unique culture and ancient traditions - as yet untouched by outside influences. Bhutan has for years chosen to stay isolated to minimize external influences on their land and culture thus becoming the world's most preferential destination today. Blue Bird Travels operates special packages sampling all that Bhutan has to offer.
