“In a world that is always on, Bhutan offers sanctuary. It offers earthly pleasures: archery and age-old crafts, dishes of homemade cheese and fearsomely hot chili, breathtaking treks and restorative hot stone baths.
But there’s another Bhutan, too, that’s hinted at by the prayer flags strung across gorges and fluttering on every hillside. It’s where irreverent humour meets deeply held beliefs, and epic landscapes and slow journeys create room for quiet awe. It offers wellbeing and wonder, and exhilarating adventure.
More than 70% forested, and one of a handful of carbon neutral countries in the world, it’s also planting the seeds of science and tech innovation.
There isn’t just one Bhutan to discover; there are many. From storied cities to soaring mountains, the door to the kingdom is open once again to old and new friends.
Welcome to Bhutan.”
