Bhutan is a landlocked country in the eastern Himalayas that has long been regarded as one of the most mysterious and magical places on earth. Nestled between India and China, this tiny kingdom has been able to preserve its unique culture and traditions, and after closing its borders for a couple of years due to COVID is again open to visitors who are keen to explore its many wonders.
Being a small and remote country with a fragile infrastructure, Bhutan understands it is not in its best interest to market itself as a low-cost destination for mass tourism and it turns away backpackers whose presence contributes too little to its economy. However, for travellers who have the means and enthusiasm a trip to Bhutan can be a hugely rewarding experience. The country is perfect for couples and small parties.
