Bhutan (Phuentsholing, Thimphu, Wangdue / Punakha, Paro)

Welcome to Bhutan

Of late, instances of raised eyebrows on the mention of Bhutan have decreased. Today, Bhutan is considered as one of the exotic tourist destinations in Asia. The journey, from a landless known and enshrouded in mystery to that of a premium travel choice, has been phenomenal for a country that opened up to the world only in 1960.

Staying true to its culture and tradition has done the trick for Bhutan, a country that still lacks infrastructure or economic might. Adoption of the unique development philosophy of Gross National Happiness which places the importance of personal wellbeing over material gains has been another promoting factor that cements Bhutan as one of the happiest of nations in the world.

Bhutan Tourism has rightly adopted the tagline “Happiness is a Place”. However, one has to travel to Bhutan for a chance to experience happiness the Bhutanese way.
