 Bhutan as a Travel Destination You will
discover in Bhutan, known as the Land of the Thunder Dragon, true
mystical bliss enveloped in all its natural splendour. Also known as a
trekker's paradise and an environmentalist's dream, over 70 percent
of Bhutan's landmass of 38,394 sq. km are under forest cover thus
creating a haven for rare and endangered flora and fauna. Bhutan
combines a fine blend of the old with the new. Here is a country that
has slowly opened up to the modern world in a fine balance with its
ancient traditions. This spiritual land is the last bastion of
Vajrayana Buddhism, which provides the essence of a unique identity for
the 750,000 people. Those fortunate enough to visit Bhutan describe
it as a unique, deeply spiritual and mystical experience. This kingdom
is an adventure like no other.
