The Bhutanee folk can be grouped into three distinct ethnic groups-Sharchops, People who live in east of the Bhutan, are believed to be the earliest inhabitants of Bhutan. They are Indo-Mongoloid origin and appear closely related to the inhabitants of northeast India and northern Burma. The Ngalongs are of Tibetan descendant of the migrated to Bhutan in the 9th century and settled west of the country. The third groups Lhotsampas are the Nepali origin that settled in the foothills of southern Bhutan in mid 19th century. There are other minority groups in Bhutan such as Layap, Brokpa, Doya, Lhopu, Dhakpa and Lepcha.

The Bhutanese are very religious and this is evidenced by the numerous Dzongs, Temples and monasteries that mark the landscape. In addition, every home has its prayer room or alters and generally celebrates an annual festival called "Chogu". This is when prayers of thanksgiving are offered for the year past as well as for future well being of the family.

One of the least densely populated countries in the world with 79 percent of the people living in the rural areas, Bhutan boasts of people; who always have a welcome smile for every visitor.

The country's economy is based on agriculture, forestry, tourism and the sale of hydroelectric power to India. About 70 per cent of the population live in rural areas and most depend on subsistence agriculture, including livestock and forestry. The average farm size is about 1.7 hectares. Poverty is almost entirely a rural phenomenon, and affects more than 30 per cent of the population.
With much of Bhutan too steep, too high or too cold to farm, only 8 per cent of land is cultivable, and most of this is fragmented and scattered in difficult terrain, making farm labour intensive and mechanisation difficult. Characterised by remoteness and inaccessibility, marketing and large-scale commercialisation is a significant challenge. In many rural communities, people have to walk from a few hours to a few days to reach the nearest road head. As a result, barter trade is prevalent in the country. Smallholder farmers also face other constraints, including the small size of landholdings, lack of irrigation, poor soil fertility, limited access to technologies and inputs, few off-farm employment opportunities, poor access to markets and high transport costs.

Rice is the main staple crop and is grown by about 60 per cent of rural households. Over 500 varieties of local rice have been collected and catalogued. Bhutan consumes about 100,000 tonnes of rice a year but only produces half of that amount. Low-altitude rice is often grown in rotation with crops such as mustard, wheat, pulses and tropical fruit. Other major crops include maize, buckwheat, barley, foxtail millet, finger millet, potatoes and soybean.
While most households rear livestock for home consumption, livestock farming and nomadic herding are the predominant activities in the alpine and cool temperate zones. Over 80 per cent of rural households own cattle. Other significant livestock include poultry (reared by about 65% of rural households), pigs (38%), horses (23%), goats (15%) and yaks (2%). Inadequate pasture land and poor access to markets are significant constraints to improving production, but increasing urban demand for livestock products is encouraging farmers near urban areas to keep better breeds and improve feed and fodder management.

According to the legend related to this Taktsang (which in Tibetan language is spelt (stag tshang) which literally means "Tiger's lair", it is believed that Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) flew to this location from Tibet on the back of a tigress from Khenpajong. This place was consecrated to tame the Tiger demon.

Guru Padmasambhava founder of the meditations cave. Wall painting on Paro Bridge. An alternative legend holds that a former wife of an emperor, known as Yeshe Tsogyal, willingly became a disciple of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambahva) in Tibet. She transformed herself into a tigress and carried the Guru on her back from Tibet to the present location of the Taktsang in Bhutan. In one of the caves here, the Guru then performed meditation and emerged in eight incarnated forms (manifestations) and the place became holy. Subsequently, the place came to be known as the “Tiger's Nest”.

Bhutan's history is based on ancient stone implements found in various regions. It appears that the region was initially inhabited as early as 2000 BC. In all probability these were nomadic herders who lived in the low-lying areas in winter and moved to the alpine meadows in summer and this practice is still followed today. There are no surviving records, oral or written, of this period and history per se can only authenticate from the seventh century AD. The visit of Guru Padmasambhava and other Buddhists saints and scholars from India and Tibet marked the medieval Bhutan. Emergence of ruling clans and development of arts and architecture were also seen during this period.

Bhutan's history started in the seventh century when the Tibetan king Songsten Gampo,constructed its first two Buddhist temples,Kyichu in Paro valley and Jambay Lhakhang in the Choekhor Valley in Bumthang.Till this time,like other parts of the Himalayan region,the people here followed an animistic region,in this case,Bon or (Ben choe).Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, a leader of the Drukpa sect, came to Bhutan in 17th century. He introduced the dual system of Government and for the first time some degree of stability was maintained, which was unseen before. But this did not last long. After Ngawang Namgyal's death, successors became victims of intrigues and rivalries. The instability continued till the early 20th century.

The country's modern period began with the establishment of monarchy in Bhutan. The powerful Bhutanese Chief, Ugyen Wangchuk was crowned as the first hereditary ruler of Bhutan in 1907. The country's self-imposed policy of isolation continued till the reign of the third king Jigme Dorji Wangchuk. He decided to shed this age-old policy and introduced the country to the outside world, bringing the country into the international mainstream.

When Bhutan was united n the seventeenth century, under the Drukpa Kagyu Buddhism,they gave the country the name Druk Yul-Land of the Thunder Dragon,and the idwellers were called the Drukpas.

Greetings from Himalayas! Our careful preservation of our culture and environment have made the kingdom of Bhutan be called "the last place on the roof of the world." If you want to visit a land rich in cultural heritage and natural wildlife when you travel, Bhutan is the place to visit.

Bhutan tours are carefully designed to keep the local culture, fauna and flora intact, while letting visitors enjoy the nation's beauty. At the turn of the century, Bhutan tourism was limited. Now more than 25 thousand tourists visit Bhutan per year, thanks to the international appeal of travel Bhutan packages. Bhutan travel and tourism offer peeks into the traditional Buddhist culture that makes Bhutan "The Last Shangri-La."

As people travel to Bhutan from all over the world to such far land of Thunder Dragon, they often wants to cover the nearby Himalayan regions as well, like Darjeeling, Sikkim, and sometimes Nepal. Therefore we have designed few tours to keep the nearby regions as well, and preservation is evident now in various other nearby Himalayan regions as well, as they have taken a leaf out of Bhutan's way of managing forests and resources.

Consisting of a white dragon over a yellow and orange background, the national flag of Bhutan is divided diagonally from the lower hoist side corner, making twin triangles. The upper triangle is yellow and the lower triangle is orange. The dragon is centered along the dividing line, facing away from the hoist side.

The upper half of the flag, which is yellow in color represents the secular authority of His Majesty the King.
The lower orange half of the flag represents Mahayana Buddhism, the state religion.
The dragon running diagonally across the middle of the flag is no ordinary dragon. This is the Thunder Dragon, and the country takes its name from this dragon. The indigenous name of Bhutan is Druk Yul meaning the land of the thunder dragon. The color of the dragon is white, representing the loyalty of the various ethnic and linguistic groups in the country. Bhutan's prosperity and excellence are symbolised by the jewels clasped in the dragon's claws, protected by the strength of the deities expressed by the dragon's open mouth.

Bhutan's exclusive and colourful history has found its way into the annals of history through the sheer brilliance of the vibrant Bhutanese Textiles that are still proudly wore by its people in the forms of Ghos and Kiras. You can visit Bhutan's only textile museum where ancient, priceless dresses dating back to hundreds of years are on display. Also catch our young Bhutanese girls weaving a tapestry of colours and patterns with their nimble and experienced hands at the weaving centre. Apart from textiles, one can visit the Art school in the capital, which is famous for retaining the famous traditional thirteen arts and crafts of Bhutan known as Zorig Chusum, men, usually monks, embroidery and appliqué religious images and shrine furnishings. The thangkas exemplify the textile artistry of men. They cut, stitch, embroider and appliqué furnishings for the interiors of dzongs and lhakhangs and the living quarters of the lay and ecclesiastic bodies. The costumes worn by the dancers during festival are one of the finest examples of Bhutanese textile art. Almost all homes in Bhutan are replete with textiles of all kinds made and woven by both men and women. Bhutan's textiles, besides the impressive architecture of dzongs and lhakhangs hold a high degree of intricacy and magnificence supplementing the country's unique assets. A Textile Tour in Bhutan is the best way to explore a way of dressing that was prevalent thousands of years ago, and is still alive in some parts of the country.

According to Bhutanese tradition, the history of Bhutan began in the seventh century AD when the Tibetan King, Songtsen Gampo constructed the first two Buddhist temples: Kyichu in the Paro valley and Jampa in the Choekhor valley in Bumthang. In the eight century, a tantrist from Swat (in present day Pakistan) arrived in Bhutan. His name was Padmasambhava but he is generally known in Tibet and Bhutan as Guru Rinpoche, the 'Precious Master'. Here, as in Tibet he introduced Ta***ic Buddhism. He is considered by the Nyingmapa religious school (pa means means school or sect) to be their founder and the second Buddha. All the places he visited and in which he meditated are places of Pilgrimage for the Bhutanese, who also worship his Eight Manifestations in almost all the temples in the country.
