THE DRAGON KINGDOM Bhutan a purely Buddhist Himalayan Kingdom is unsurpassed
in its scenic majesty and  vibrant culture. the kingdom shares with Nepal the world's greatest
concentration of mountains and living heritage of Buddhism. The fifty minute flight from
Kathmandu to Paro can truly be described as a flight into fantasy. During the flight a first
hand close up view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga and other famous peaks becomes reality.
BI-weekly flights between these two kingdoms on every Monday and Thursday have made
travel easier to the long isolated dragon kingdom of Bhutan. There are direct flights from
Delhi bi-weekly and Bangkok weekly and tours can be planned according. Bhutan is one of the
few countries in the World still untouched, 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 has been receiving
less than 2000 tourist annually only.

South Asia
Phuntsoling
From its vast views of the Indian Plains,this overland gateway town is the start of a breathtaking drive
round hairpin turns through lush forests to the towns and valleys of the Inner Himalayas.

The National Museum is located in an ancient watchtower here, and Taktsang Monastery clings to sheer
cliffs 900 meters above the valley.

Below rich cattle pastures at the junction of the Mo Chu and Tang Chu rivers,
a striking Dzong guards this windy valley.

before soaring off to Tibet in the spring.

the massive, many-leveled Tongsa Dzong, strategically located to guard what has been for centuries
