Bhutan opened up to limited tourism in 1974, and stands out as one of the most exotic destinations of Asia. Bhutan throughout the centuries remained hidden by choice.

Bhutan regulates the number of tourists visiting it's rich monasteries, museums and natural beauty. The system has reduced the number of visitors at about 5000 per year. The Bhutanese monks who have a lot of political influence in the country do not want the country westernized.  Everyone visiting this country is completely overwhelmed by the beauty and the charm of this tiny Himalayan Country and its population.

Bhutan, a purely Buddhist Himalayan Kingdom, is unsurpassed in its scenic majesty and vibrant culture. The Kingdom shares with Nepal, the world's greatest concentration of mountains and living heritage of Buddhism. The 50 minutes flight from Kathmandu to Paro can truly be described as a flight into fantasy. During the flight, a first hand close-up view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Kangchendzonga and other famous peaks become reality. Bi-weekly flights between these two Kingdoms, have made travel easier to the long isolated Dragon Kingdom of Bhutan.
