BHUTAN,
a Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas, is unsurpassed
in its scenic majesty and vibrant culture. It
shares with Nepal the world's greatest concentration
of mountains and a living Buddhist heritage.
The short flight from Kathmandu to Paro can
fairly be described as fantastic. During the
flight you will have close-up views of Mt. Everest,
Kanchanjunga and various other famous peaks.
Bi-weekly flights are now available between
Kathmandu and Paro. Bhutan is one of the few
countries in the world that is still largely
untouched. It is a paradise for tourists interested
in Buddhist culture and philosophy, flora and
fauna, trekking and mountaineering. Due to the
Royal Government's policy of controlled selective
tourism, Bhutan receives less than 8,000 tourist
annually.
