Placed on the foothills of the eastern Himalayan range, Bhutan is one of the most humble, peaceful and isolated countries in the world. The country is packed against two of the largest democratic countries in the world, India and China. But unlike the chaotic nature of its neighbouring nations, Bhutan boasts its beauty with majestic Buddhist monasteries, green rolling hills and cascading rivers. The country believes in a unique philosophy of Gross National Happiness that values happiness over anything else. Known for its wonderful artworks and architectural brilliance the Himalayan kingdom is home to numerous unique structures and monasteries that enhance the real beauty of the nation. Surrounded by a lush green valley and dense forest the place is also popular for its rich wildlife and biodiversity. From splendid natural beauty to majestic views of the Himalayas, Bhutan is a country that should be visited once in a lifetime.
