Situated in
the heart of the Great Himalayas, the Kingdom of Bhutan with varied climatic
conditions has been hidden for centuries. The land of the Thunder Dragon has
sequestered itself from the rest of the world. Shrouded in mystery, it did not
open its doors to tourism until 1974, and even then limited the number of its
visitors. In Bhutan, beauty lies in the land. Golden peaks surrounding valleys
that bloom with flowers of a thousand colors. A sense of discovery begins with
your first footsteps in Bhutan and grows as you travel along quiet paths through
an ancient culture. You will find life as it has been for hundred of years
