| Bhutan, best known to the world as the
last Shangril-la has a rare combination of harmony and
accord amidst a landscape of incredible beauty. Protected
by mighty Himalayas from the rest of the world and enriched
by the essence of Drukpa Kagyu School of Buddhism, Bhutan
has managed to remain shrouded deeply in a jealously
guarded isolation. Its rich Himalayan flora and fauna,
dazzling white peaks and lush valleys provide Bhutan’s
stunning beauty and aesthetic grandeur. Bhutan has gently
opened its doors to the visitors who respect the delicate
sensitivities of this pristine land and shares the sacred
values of its people. The teachings of Mahayana Buddhism
are the living faith of Bhutanese people and religious
sites and institutions are the daily home of its people.
Bhutanese architectures in Dzongs, buildings and houses
are very striking
