Where is Bhutan?
In a world that is always on the go, Bhutan provides sanctuary. Here, you can find earthly pleasures: archery and age-old crafts, dishes of home-made cheese and fearsomely hot chillies, breathtaking treks and restorative hot-stone baths.
More than 70% forested, and the first carbon-negative country in the world, we’re 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 This kingdom is steeped in history, but our gaze is fixed on the future. This is our moment of evolution. Guardians of some of the world’s most pristine, wild and sacred places – and of a rich, deeply rooted culture – we are steadfast as the cypress in our commitment to conservation.
Bhutan is a small country with a colourful cultural tapestry and deeply rooted beliefs. Our genuinely hospitable and compassionate people will rarely refuse guests’ requests. Bhutan is the last Vajrayana Buddhist country in the world and it contains many revered religious sites – from roadside stupas to temples, monasteries and nunneries.
Bhutan has one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world. Enjoy our natural abundance and be happy always.
