Nestled in the Himalayas, the remote kingdom of Bhutan is a land of fertile valleys and primeval forests overlooked by glittering, snow-capped mountain peaks. Challenging topography and political dogma of the past, that restricted visitors to this hidden kingdom, has helped retain a beautifully preserved and unspoiled destination that is reputed to be the happiest country in the world and considered the inspiration for mythical Shangri-La. Spirituality abounds, in temples, in fortress-like dzongs, in the smiles of the locals, in dances, in textiles, in handicrafts and in this nation's enlightened approach to the environment - Bhutan absorbs more carbon than it emits and measures Gross National Happiness! A sustainable approach to tourism that limits the number of visitors and enforces a minimum daily spend ensures that accommodation is of the highest standards - not for those seeking budget backpacker-style travel.
