Bhutan is a small, landlocked country located in the Eastern Himalayas between India and China. It is the only remaining Buddhist kingdom in the world. The terrain is very mountainous, ranging from 300 meters to over 7,000 meters. The culture is deeply influenced by Buddhism, though some southern areas have seen an influx of Hindu immigrants from Nepal. Paro National Museum is an important cultural museum located in the town of Paro that houses fine examples of Bhutanese art and statues.

2. BHUTAN
Named Drupyul – the land of the Thunder Dragon – by its preset rulers, the Drupkas, Bhutan is
the only Buddhist monarchy left in the world. It is a mountainous country – the size of
Switzerland but is far more picturesque. The terrain rises from 300 metres in the South to over
7000 mtrs high in the North, with mountains bordering Tibet and China.
The Bhutanese are very hardy people, mongoloid in origin. They follow Buddhist traditions and
custume. The nation has a history steeped in Buddhism.However, of late, the immigration, in
sizable numbers, of people from Nepal, who are Hindus, has altered the demography in the
South.
Bhutan is a land of great natural beauty with imposing Djongs, forts, Gompas and monastries.
It has a unique virgin beauty, unspoilt by human intervention, as it has been elsewhere in
Himalayas.

3. Paro National Museum
A cultural museum in the town of
Paro in western Bhutan.
Established in 1968, in the
renovated ancient Ta-dzong
building, above Rinpong Dzong
under the command of His
Majesty, the King Jgme Dorii
Wangchuck, the third hereditary
Monarch of Bhutan. The
necessary infrastructure was
created to house some of the
finest specimens of Bhutanese
Arts, including masterpieces of
bronze statues and paints.
Suitable galleries were
constructed to house the
extensive collections. Works of
art were elegantly displayed on
scientific lines.

4. Paro Dzong
Paro is a historic town with many
sacred site and historical
buildings scattered through the
area. In addition, the Paro Valley
is wide and verdant and is
recognized a one of the most
beautiful in all Bhutan. Prefer to
stay in Paro if you are someone
who is fond of nature and would
like to spend quite and peaceful
time. However, apart from the
main street (which is constructed
of traditional wooden
structures), the bazaar area is a
nondescript hodgepodge of
concrete buildings that is totally
bereft of charm and character.
Along with Jakar and Punka, Paro
forms the 'golden triangle' of
popular tourist destinations in
Bhutan.

the popular name of Taktsang Palphug Monastery (also known as The Tiger's Nest),[] a
prominent Himalayan buddist sacred site and temple complex, located in the cliffside of the
upper Paro valley, Bhutan A temple complex was first built in 1692, around the Taktsang Senge
Samdup (stag tshang seng ge bsam grub) cave where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have
meditated for three years, three months, three weeks, three days and three hours in the 8th
century. Padmasambhava is credited with introducing Buddhism to Bhutan and is the tutelary
deity of the country. Today, Paro Taktsang is the best known of the thirteen taktsang or "tiger
lair" caves in which he meditated.
The Guru mTshan-brgyad Lhakhang, the temple devoted to Padmasambhava (also known as Gu-
ru mTshan-brgyad Lhakhang, "The Temple of the Guru with Eight Names") is an elegant
structure built around the cave in 1692 by Gyalse Tenzin Rabgye; and has become the cultural
icon of Bhutan. A popular festival, known as the Tsechu, held in honour of Padmasambhava, is
celebrated in the Paro valley sometime during March or April.

12. Trekking
-Bhutan has many very high
mountains of over 7000 metres
altitude. Unfortunately only few
peaks are open for climbing as
mountains are considered
sacred. However, the
mountainous terrain gives ample
and ideal opportunity for
trekking and while trekking away
from the motorable roads, one
gets glimpses into the real heart
of Bhutan. It is here that one
sees the true culture of Bhutan –
a predominantly agrarian society.
Treks are available in all parts of
Bhutan with varied degrees of
difficulty to suit the requirement
of different individuals.
