Tucked away in the Himalayas, Bhutan remains a country which evokes a sense of intense mystery. With the coming of the first surfaced road in the 1960s, Bhutan opened its doors to a handful of tourists in 1974, mostly at the invitation of the government. The Royal Bhutan Government has succeeded in maintaining Bhutans cultural and spiritual heritage by strictly limiting the number of tourists that visit the Kingdom to a maximum of 5000 a year.
Bhutanese people have largely lived a life of isolation away from the rest of the world where western values have little or no impact here. The country has a wealth of culture and extreme charm, people are intensely religious which is very much in evidence throughout the Kingdom. |
