Bhutan also called the land of thunder is a land of magical charm & offers magnificent mountain views, forest scenery & ancient architecture. Friendly people who follow age-old culture inhabit the country. Bhutans foremost priority is to preserve its natural & cultural assets. It maintains the restriction policy that allows a small number of visitors into the country. Thus over the years, tourism has had little impact on the lifestyle of people and their traditional way of life.
