| Bhutan is the last Himalayan Kingdom that has preserved its individualistic culture through the centuries. The people of Bhutan are simple and friendly and that reflects in their way of life. The difficult terrains in which they sustain, give rise to typical architectures that are perched astonishingly even on cliff sides. These are the sights and feel of a land that has remained enveloped in mystery for most part of the past centuries. |
