Bhutan
The name Bhutan
appears to derive from the ancient Indian term Bhotanta that means the end of
the land of the Bhots. Bhot was the Sanskrit term for Tibetans, thus Bhutan could mean the end of the land of Tibet. The Bhutanese themselves refer to
their country as Druk Yul or the Land of the Peaceful Dragon.
The kingdom offers many opportunities to explore; from
ancient monasteries to beautiful valleys, from cultural mask dance to great
Himalayan region and much more. Here too, are treks in a mountainous wilderness
and here too, are festivals as colourful as any artist’s palette and alive with
traditional chants & dancing. The impossible monasteries like Taktsang and
the unspoiled green grandeur of the country have still to be discovered.
Throughout the centuries, the Bhutanese have treasured their natural
environment and have looked upon it as the source of all life. You will discover
in the Thunder Dragon Kingdom of Bhutan, true mystical bliss enveloped in its
natural splendour. This Himalayan paradise is still wrapped in a time,
recollected by many as “those good old daysâ€.
