The mysterious kingdom of Bhutan is one of the last pristine mountain cultures on earth.
The mysterious Kingdom of Bhutan is one of the last pristine mountain cultures on earth. Located between India and Tibet in the Himalayas, it's a country riven with deep, pine-clad valleys, where ancient monasteries cling to steep hillsides and snow-tipped ranges wrapped in mist rise dramatically into the crystal clear air. The landscape is dotted with ornately painted farmhouses set amongst terraced paddy fields. For those seeking spiritual reinvigoration and an escape from our Western way of life, Bhutan comes highly recommended.
CLIMATE Bhutan can be visited year-round, although the most pleasant weather occurs from March to May and from October to November. HEALTH Precautions must be taken to avoid the risk of contracting Cholera, Typhoid, Poliomyelitis, Hepatitis A and Malaria. TIME DIFFERENCE GMT +6 hours CURRENCY Ngultrum (US Dollar also accepted) VISA REQUIREMENTS British passport holders must obtain a visa. HOW TO GET THERE With Druk Air via Delhi, Kolkata or Bangkok.
