Bhutan

Bhutan is a tiny Himalayan kingdom, situated in the far east of Nepal, bordered to the north by China and to the south, east and west by India. The altitude varies from 300 m (1, 000 ft.) in the narrow lowland region to 7, 000 m. (22, 000 ft.) in the Himalayan Plateau in the North. The kingdom- the last Paradise on the earth- reflects age-old religion, culture, arts and architecture in its golden peak in the background of deep green valley and hillside. People are deeply religious following the Mahayana form of Buddhism. The air of spirituality is evident, even in the urban centers where the spinning of Prayer Wheels, the murmur of mantras and the glow of butter lamp in the houses are still important feature of everyday life. Monastery, temples and religious monuments are dotted across the landscape, bearing witness to the importance of Buddhism
