Bhutan
Bhutan, one of the best among the Himalayan Kingdoms lies along the soaring ridges of the eastern Himalayas, bordering the Tibetan region in the north and north-west and the Indian states of Assam in the south, Sikkim in the west and south-west, , Arunachal Pradesh in east and south-east and West Bengal in South and South-West. The country within these borders forms a giant staircase, from a narrow strip of land in the south to some of the highest unclimbed Himalayan peaks on earth. With an area of 46,500 square kilometres and a relatively small population of 700,000 people Bhutan enjoys a sustainable lifestyle which they inherited from their forefathers.
It was the mighty Himalayas which protected Bhutan from the rest of the world and left the Kingdom blissfully untouched, also the entry of the visitors was not allowed until 1974. So the traditional life style has been intact.
The tourism industry in Bhutan based on the principle of sustainability, meaning that tourism must be environment friendly, socially and culturally acceptable and economically viable. The number of tourists is restricted to conserve the traditional lifestyle and also limited tourism infrastructure. Bhutan's consistent tourism policy of high value, low impact has helped the Kingdom ensure its rich living culture. It is a destination for those seeking a journey back into time.
