| Itinerary
Bhutan is a small country nestling in the eastern end of the Himalayas.
Seeking to preserve its unique culture it has guarded itself against
unchecked tourism and modernization and even now remains a rare
destination for most travelers. As well as its colorful religious and
social traditions, Bhutan is the guardian of some of the world's most
beautiful mountain scenery.
A Buddhist land, Bhutan's religious practices largely follow those of
Tibet. Commemorative chortens dot the landscape while faded prayer
flags are stretched around homes and monasteries. Red-robed lamas can
be encountered on hill paths, turning prayer wheels as they journey
across this rugged country.Bhutan offers an unspoiled habitat for a huge variety of flora and fauna.
