Bhutan

Bhutan is a small landlocked country in the Eastern Himalayas, bordered by India and China. Known for its stunning mountain landscapes, rich Buddhist culture, and commitment to environmental conservation, Bhutan is the world’s only carbon-negative country. The nation is a constitutional monarchy with a unique development philosophy called Gross National Happiness (GNH), which focuses on sustainable development, cultural preservation, and well-being over economic growth. The economy is driven by hydropower, agriculture, and regulated tourism under a “High Value, Low Impact” policy. Major attractions include Tiger’s Nest Monastery, Punakha Dzong, and vibrant Tsechu festivals. Bhutan offers a rare blend of tradition, peace, and natural beauty.
