Bhutan – The Land of Thunder Dragon has remained sequestered from the rest of the world in its pristine state, unspoiled by outside influences. Bordered by China (Tibet) in the North and by India in the south, the kingdom of the Lost Horizon opened its door to tourism only in 1974, since then the number of visitors to Bhutan has steadily increased. Bhutan is endowed with breathtaking natural beauty, surrounded by sacred mountains, virgin peaks and holy lakes. Its beautiful valleys and lush forests are teeming with flora and wildlife undisturbed in its natural environment. Bhutan is perhaps the last Eden, not just in part, but in its entirety. Its approximately 38,600 Square kilometer of area is covered with not less than 72% of dense forest and jungles. In less than 65 miles, Bhutan rises 25,000 feet from the subtropical jungles of the south to arctic cold of the high Himalayas. Bhutan is truly a haven for wildlife and is considered the most exclusive tourist destination in the world. The country manages to retain all the charm of the old world.

Welcome to Bhutan Wilderness Travel
Bhutan Wilderness Travel opens up a whole new world for the travelers wishing to visit Bhutan with a panorama of tours to show the best aspects of this extraordinary country. You will see the people and their way of life, the great Himalayan mountains on remote trekking routes, the spectacularly colorful and genuinely traditional festivals, the citadels of Himalayan Buddhism; and you will feel the breath of mystery and power which still abides in this unique and hidden kingdom. If there is magic left in this world, here is where you will find it.The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan retains a mystique that many other remote destinations have long since lost. Sandwiched between India and China, and separated from Nepal by intervening Sikkim, this tiny country at the eastern end of Himalaya is roughly about the size of Switzerland and yet it is staggeringly diverse in landscape, culture and biodiversity. Buddhism pervades every element of Bhutanese history and daily life; even the most mundane experiences can be tinged with spiritual significance. Steep valley walls and mountains rise all around, dotted with prayer flags and monasteries in improbable places, while to the north numerous snowy peaks soar to more than 7000 m.
Bhutan, known to the Bhutanese as Druk Yul, The Land of The Thunder Dragon, is truly another world. We invite you to discover it with us!
