The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan is fast emerging from
centuries of self imposed isolation. First opened to
tourists in 1974 in very regulated manner upon the
coronation of present Bhutanese King, this mountain kingdom
is still perhaps the world’s most exclusive tourists
destination. Due to the Royal Government’s far-sighted
policy to preserve the countries pristine environment and
its culture, the harmful effects to industrialization and
mass tourism on the environment and the traditional
lifestyle of Bhutanese have been carefully avoided. This
makes Bhutan a truly unique destination. An unspoiled
country with majestic mountains, a unique cultural heritage
preserved for many centuries, an architectural style like no
other, a landfill of warm hearted and friendly people,
reveals a true paradise in the lost era of the present
century.
The tours and treks we offer to familiarize the Himalayan
kingdom Bhutan.
