BHUTAN
Druk Yul - the 'Land of
the Peaceful Dragon' ranges, in just 200 kms, from the snows of
7,300m peaks in the north, through high alpine valleys and
pastures to the steamy jungles of the Duars plain in the south.
It is a land of incredible natural beauty, unpolluted, unspoiled
and pristine. Few foreigners are afforded the opportunity to
visit this small Himalayan kingdom.
Bhutan considers, with reason, that too many visitors would
strain their limited facilities, and that rapid development
might upset the unique harmony and balance of their land. Thus
the fortunate visitor to Bhutan still finds the full warmth of
her people and discovers the paradise of her highland pastures,
peaks, forests, lakes and flowers. |
