    Druk Yul or Land of the Thunder Dragon

Traveling to the Kingdom of Bhutan

Land of the thunder dragon, officially the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a small landlocked Asian country located in the eastern Himalaya mountains south of China (Xizang - Tibet Autonomous Region), bordering the Indian states of Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh, as well as Nepal and Bangladesh. The nation controls several important Himalayan mountain passes. Bhutan has a land area of 38,394 km2, slightly smaller than Switzerland and almost half the size of the US state of Indiana. Bhutan's terrain is predominantly hilly, with some fertile valleys and savanna. In 2015, the nation had a multiethnic population of 760,000 people. 
The Tshanglas (or Sharchop) are the native residents of eastern Bhutan, the Ngalops are people of Tibetan descent who came to Bhutan, and the Lhotshampas are a group of Nepali language-speaking Bhutanese people. Dzongkha, a language related to Tibetan and Nepali, is the official language. Thimphu is the capital and biggest city.

The Kingdom of Bhutan is a country with a strong ancient Buddhist culture and almost completely cut off for centuries to avoid foreign influences.

Bhutan's Environmental Success Is a Pleasant ContradictionBhutan is undoubtedly one of the most calm and beautiful countries in terms of environment. Each canyon, valley, mountain, and riverbed has been meticulously conserved, and the government ensures that inhabitants uphold natural beauty standards. Some natural trekking routes, such as the Druk Path and Laya Gasa, have yet to be heavily changed by people. Half of the nation has been designated as a natural forest reserve, and the animals, plants, and wildlife have been protected from harm. Because the number of automobiles is restricted and gasoline is not cheap, pollution is kept to a minimum, keeping the area peaceful and pleasurable. Even in agriculture, organic farming is used extensively, lowering the danger of environmental damage even more. This directly influences the lives of individuals who can breathe easier, eat healthier, and live happier lives.
