The hereditary monarchy of the past has given way to the democratic constitutional monarchy of the present. Dzongkha is its national language. “Gho” and “Kira” are the national dresses worn by men and women respectively. Bhutan is a must visit holiday destination for people who are in search of real peace and solitude. It is also an emerald paradise for the seekers of wilderness and wild adventures. The land is proud of the world highest unclimbed peak, its rich floral and faunal diversity, culture like nowhere else and architecture and cuisines which are indeed unique.

For all these reasons Bhutan is indeed a must visit place on earth. Culture
Bhutan is predominantly the last Mahayana Buddhist country in the world. In the southern foothills people practice Hinduism. Other forms of religious beliefs and practices have also made headway in the recent past. The true explosion of Bhutanese culture can be witnessed during the religious festivals called ‘Tshechus’ and also during occasions and gatherings. Dance, music, games and ceremonies all go to make Bhutan one of its kinds so unique in the face of the earth. The best time to witness such display of cultural diversity is during the commencement of local ‘Tshechus.”
Nature
Bhutan is indeed a veritable paradise for birders, trekkers, nature-lovers and poets. It offers richly to the outside world in the form of floral and faunal diversity so unmatched perhaps in the world. Rufous-necked hornbill, white-bellied heron, black-necked crane and Blyth’s tragopanare some of the birds which have become globally rare but worthy of sighting in Bhutan. Blue poppy, rhododendrons, magnolia and orchids are some of the flowers to witness in the country. Tiger, takin, musk deer, golden langur and snow leopard are other noteworthy animals to see here. Bhutan’s rugged terrain is nourished by its mighty rivers, glaciers and other forces of nature.
