Bhutan

Bhutan is considered to be the last kingdom above the clouds and still seems timeless compared to the rest of the world. Tradition is a top priority, so the country still retains its original character. Magnificent landscapes and largely unspoilt nature await you here with snow-capped peaks, vast rhododendron forests, jungle areas, deep valleys, fertile rice fields and orchards.
In the “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, the principle of “Gross National Happiness” applies, which does not prioritise the economic growth of the country, but rather satisfaction and benefit. It also actively pursues environmental protection, which is firmly anchored in the country’s constitution. But even before that, living in harmony with nature and protecting it was a priority for all economic endeavours. Buddhist holidays and religious festivals characterise cultural life. You can admire the people in their beautiful and colourful clothes, listen to the traditional music and watch the impressive masks and sword dances.
Wonderful trekking tours take you into the breathtaking natural and mountain world, while the numerous monasteries invite you into the spiritual world of Buddhism and its history. The famous monastery of Taktshang, “Tiger’s Nest”, is spectacularly nestled against a steep rock face and offers a fantastic, almost enraptured view for this reason alone.
