High in the mysterious and majestic eastern Himalayas, nestled bewteen Tibetan autonomous region of China and India, lies the small Kingdom of bhutan, increasingly renowned as one of the Earth's last precious unspoiled spots. In this magical place, an intact Buddhist culture is integrated into every aspect of daily life , and spectacular mountain scenery provides a backdrop to pristine forests and picturesque valleys. The breathtaking landscape is dotted with fluttering prayer flags, colourful farmhouses amidst terraced fields, and impressive monasteries clinging to impossible cliffs.
Over 70 percent of the country is forested, and unlike other Himalayan countries, most of bhutan's original forest remains intact. The enormity and magnificence of Bhutan's forest is a reminder of what Asia and in particular the himalayas once were. The Buddhist philosophy of respect for living things, and a progressive government approach to development in which the preservation of the envirnoment and the promotion of Bhutan's unique culture and traditions are key elements, have maintained a healthy environment where wildlife flourishes.
