About Bhutan
It is the only nation that has adopted Vajrayana Buddhism as a state religion. With 70% of the land area under forest cover, it has been marked as one of the world's 10 biodiversity 'hotspots' along with the Amazon rainforests of South America and the Serengetti plains of Africa.
Our service is based on what we have learnt over the years – filling up the gaps that our clients expressed, and this experience and knowledge prompted us to start our own tourism business with a view to provide the maximum satisfaction to our clients and visitors and offer them a life time memorable experience.
When Bhutan is spoken about by foreigners who know of it, the accolades rarely cease. Its scenic beauty is haven for photographers who rave that you can never take a bad picture in Bhutan. In spite of a cautious tourism policy – and probably owing to it – the country has been rated as one of the top 20 most exotic travel destinations by National Geographic Travel magazine. Even historically, early European travelers to the country described it as "a country of majestic mountains, haunting ravines and primordial forests" where the people were "the handsomest race of men (I have) ever seen."
The Bhutanese are known to be easy-going and friendly. And time, in what a best-selling Canadian writer called the Bhutan Time Warp, stands still. If you are looking for escape, Bhutan is probably the place to go.
