The world’s last remaining Buddhist kingdom, Bhutan is perched in the jagged Himalayas between Tibet and India. Aesthetically, Bhutan is simply beautiful with an appeal that is never-ending and combined as it is, with the harmonious society that the country is famous for, Bhutan is deserving of the title “The Last Shangri-La”.
Sure, some of what you’ll see in Bhutan will be familiar, but oh so much of it is new and intriguing - the incredible mountain views, lush valleys, age-old temples, and the way of life will inspire aesthetes, while foodies will find that the cuisine is wonderful and contradicts their expectations. Interestingly, the rice in Bhutan is usually red, as red rice is the only variety that grows in the mountains. Don’t miss the cuisine, which is filled with chillies and cheese.
