Situated in the Himalayas, the kingdom of
Bhutan, is bordered by Tibet in the north and India in the
south. It is a nation which closely guards its culture and
traditions. Possessing a well-conserved pristine natural
environment and packed with eye catching sceneries, Bhutan
is unique and fascinating in many ways.
Bhutan is the last surviving Mahayana Buddhist state which
has shaped the nation's history, and it still plays an
important part in the lives of the people. People in
villages as well as in cities still wear their traditional
dress and its surprising that TV and the Internet have not
changed the people's age-old traditions supporting the
countries’ name as "The Last Shangrila". |
