BHUTAN lies in a hidden corner of the eastern Himalaya, sandwiched between China (Tibet) to the north and the Indian states of Sikkim to the west, Assam/West Bengal to the south, and Arunachal Pradesh to the east. The country within these borders forms a giant staircase, from a narrow strip of land in the south, at an altitude of 10,000ft, up to some of the highest unclimbed Himalayan peaks on earth. 

A sparsely populated country, Bhutan is often likened to Switzerland because of its small size, jealously guarded isolation and stunning mountain scenery. More than 90% of the population are hill farmers who live in small villages spread over 46,000 square kilometres of rugged mountain country. Buddhist teachings and philosophy Taktsang Lhakang or Tiger's Nest is one of Bhutan's holiest sites high up in the Paro Valley are influential throughout the kingdom, as they have been since the 7th century and a deep and traditional reverence for nature has led to Bhutan imposing some of the strictest standards of environmental preservation in the world. More than 65% of the land is still under forest cover and some of the rarest of Himalayan wildlife, such as the blue sheep, takin and golden langur, are quite common. It is often said that even the most experienced traveller will find Bhutan to be "a revelation".

In this country known as Druk Yul, the "Land of the Peaceful Dragon," the fortunate visitor will find a rare combination of harmony and accord, amongst a landscape of incredible natural beauty. The air is clean and Early morning cloud often drapes Bhutan's valleys unpolluted, the mountains are magnificent and the architecture is inspiring. 

Jetair Tours - India has put together a programme of cultural tours and treks, which each offer a unique taste of Bhutan. Whichever trip you choose, we are confident that all that is special about Bhutan will be revealed, whether you find this by gazing at the beautiful mountains, by attending one of the kingdom's colourful festivals or simply through the charm and hospitality of its people.
