The natural heritage is more rich and varied in Bhutan than any other Himalayan countries. With more than 70% of its area under forest cover, Bhutan is one of the leading countries in environmental preservation. Various parts of the Kingdom are declared as Wildlife reserves, and they are the natural habitats of rare species of both flora and fauna.

Bhutan is free of air pollution, traffic jams, stop lights, and any of kind of criminal activities that would definitely make your trip to Bhutan a wonderful and unique travel experience. An added bonus is the friendly charm, ready sense of humor and gracious hospitality of its people.

His Majesty King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, crafted a philosophy known as �Gross National Happiness � (GNH) in the late 1980s. This defines Bhutan�s development objective as improvement in the happiness and satisfaction of the people rather than growth of Gross National Product. GNH has been the development philosophy of Bhutan and is understood as a process that seeks to maximize happiness rather purely economic growth.
