Bhutan by Indus Experiences
Until 1974 Bhutan was closed to tourism, now, a lucky few get to glimpse this devout Buddhist country and see a pristine landscape. The Bhutanese are maintaining a tough policy on development, determined to retain their national character and heritage. Even today this devout Buddhist country retains an air of remoteness and inaccessibility.
There is a Medieval feel in the towns with elaborate and gaily paintedhouse facades. Wherever you look there are literally hundreds if not thousands of Monasteries and Stupas. Prayer flags flutter in the breeze and prayer wheels echo to the sound of the devout chanting. Here religion is a part of their daily lives – it’s a living faith.

Rich fertile valleys, with meandering rivers, are bordered by soaring slopes of richgreen woodland. Wherever you go you can’t escape the brooding mountains dominating the view.
