Bhutan, known to the locals as Druk Yul (Land of the Thunder Dragon), is regarded as one of the last paradises on earth. Its isolation, spectacular mountains, varied flora and fauna, ancient Buddhist monasteries, vibrant culture, and mystic aura have made it one of the most sought after destinations in the world. Though small in size, the Kingdom's topography is one of dramatic contrasts. From the near-tropical southern border with India at an altitude of 300 m, the land rises to culminate over 7,000 m. peaks of the Himalayas in the north, which form a natural frontier with the Tibetan region of Bhutan's northern neighbor, China. Come see for yourself why they call it "Land of the Thunder Dragon"
