Bhutan is a magical country

Bhutan is a magical country, with beautiful unspoiled nature, friendly people, and Buddhist tradition at every corner. Called “Druk Yul” or “Land of theThunder Dragon” by the Bhutanese, it’s Bhutan is a magical countryabout the size of Switzerland with only 700,000 people, it’s 72% covered in virgin forest and is almost entirely

mountainous. The 4th King established the concept of “Gross National Happiness” to balance economic development with protection of nature and cultural values, and this concept is fully engrained in the thinking of the Bhutanese.

We visited Bhutan for 11 days in December ’08. It was our fourth time in the Himalayas, and again we realized how energizing the Himalayas can be – pure nature, friendly people, ancient culture, and the peace and tranquility that you only find in Buddhist societies.Choosing the right travel operator can make or break a holiday experience – and Bhutan Majestic Travel proved to be an excellent choice for us.

We had a well-planned itinerary, good hotels, high-quality car, very friendly guide and very safe driver (RB and Karma – thanks!), we saw many off-the-beaten-track sights, and generally had a great time! We can strongly recommend using Bhutan Majestic Travel for your holidays in Bhutan.
