The Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon, hidden in the heart of the Himalayan Mountains, between India and Tibet, is an exciting realm with snowy heights and loads of greenery, unprecedented forests and crystalline springs, ecosystems of great diversity that are excellently protected. For centuries, Bhutan has been a mystic country because foreign visitors have been banned. A low-populated country, this northerly nation is one of the states in which Buddhism Mahayana has flourished, a land that offers travellers a rare opportunity to discover the richness of nature and the simplicity of life among warm and friendly people

The spiritual atmosphere is omnipotent even in urban centres where the spinning of prayer wheels, the mantra murmur and the shining of the lamps of worship are still aspects present in everyday life. Bhutan’s sites and religious sites are not just museums but places of spiritual communion of the Bhutanese. When travelling here, visit the following attractions:
Here, you will cross the Dochu-la Pass, situated at an altitude of 3.088 m. Here, at the highest point, you will meet a beautiful stupa, called Chorten by the locals. On the serene days, from this point you can see the highest Bhutanese mountain peaks.
A top attraction in Thimphu isTrashi Chhoe Fortress, located on the bank of the Wang Chhu River. Its architecture is a mix of secular and religious constructive elements. The original construction was built in the 13th century by Lama Gyalwa Lhanangpa’s care called the Blue Stone Fortress.
Ta Dzong is a defensive fortress, nowadays sheltering the Bhutan National Museum. Here you can see art collections, various artifacts, and philatelic collections.
In Paro you can visit the famous Bhutanan Taktshang Lakhang (Tiger’s Nest) monastery, found on a cliff above the Paro Valley. After the 1998 fire, the monastery was completely restored.
Drukgyel Dzong is considered one of the most beautiful and famous archaeological sites in Bhutan. Fort Drukgyel Dzong served as a defensive point in the region from 1649 until 1951 when it was destroyed by a fire. The Dzong site is a symbol of the great events of this country’s history.
