Bhutan is a small country in the Eastern Himalayas landlocked between China and India; it is called by many the Last Shangrila. Protected by the mighty Himalayas from the rest of the world, the Kingdom of Bhutan still ruled by monarch is the last post of Earth still blissfully untouched by civilization. The main State Religion is Buddhism of Drukpa Kagyupa School of Tibetan Buddhist of Mahayana, which in combination of small population, relatively small quota of tourism, peaceful and friendly people and majesty of the Himalayan mountains makes Bhutan visit an unique experience.
Tibet is one of the world's most extraordinary destinations and there is adventure indeed lurking around almost each and every corner. The capital Lhasa lies high in the arid wilderness of the Tibetan mountains and its name the "Roof of the World" is not just an idle statement. The heights from the bottoms of Tibetan valleys to the top of towering peaks exceeds the highest mountains elsewhere. The highest region on earth beckons you to explore the majestic mountain peaks, amazing canyons, and fascinating high altitude lakes, vast expanses of arid plains, cultural traditions and ancient religious traditions of people of Tibet.
