Bhutan, a Buddhist Kingdom in the Himalayans, is unsurpassed in its scenic majesty and vibrant culture. It shares with Nepal the worlds greatest concentration of mountains and a living Buddhist heritage. The short flight from Kathmandu to Paro can fairly be described as fantastic. During the flight you will have close-up views of Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga and various other famous peaks. By -weekly flights are now available between Kathmandu and Paro. Bhutan is one of the few countries in the world that is still largely untouched. It is a paradise for tourist interested in Buddhist culture and philosophy, flora and fauna, trekking and mountaineering. Due to the Royal Governments policy of controlled selective tourism, Bhutan receives less than 5000 tourists annually.
