Bhutan
It is our mind, and that alone, that chain us or sets us free.

Known to the Bhutanese as “drunk yul” or “Land of the Thunder dragon”, Bhutan is the last Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas. One of the world’s most mysterious and undiscovered destinations in the world. A country where spirits and myths are an accepted part of daily life and where the Gross National Happiness of its people is used as an official measure of development by the government.
This country is the world’s only carbon-negative country. It’s a destination where sacred mountains remain unclimbed, and fishing is banned from its pristine rivers. Bhutan is praised for its environmental protection, cultural preservation and history that stems back millennia.
With a temperate climate, Bhutan is an ideal year-round destination. March to April and September to November offer pleasant weather for hiking and trekking. May to August presents lush landscapes with blooming flowers and vegetation. December to February brings sunny days and clear mountain views.
