Package Description


Bhutan is a small, isolated nation tucked away in the Himalayas between China and India, two of its most powerful neighbors. It has attempted to let some elements of the outside world while passionately upholding its long-standing customs, despite being virtually sealed off for generations. Druk Yul, which translates to "Land of the Thunder Dragon" in Bhutanese, became open to foreigners only in the 1970s.
