Facts on Bhutan

---

If you are in India for sightseeing, and return to your native land or country without seeing the marvelous bounty that Bhutan has to offer, then your trip is never complete. So make sure you get a feel of this mystic land through Bhutan Tourism. Bhutan is a small country located amidst the eastern Himalayas, bordering China to the north and India to the south, east and west. This tiny splendor is a visual treat and boasts some of the best and exciting locales. Being sited in altitudes, this country’s altitude varies from 300m (1000ft) in the narrow lowland region to 7000m (22, 000ft) in the Himalayan plateau in the north. Bhutan has got everything from flora-fauna, to wildlife species, to enthralling tourist’s spots. Here, the hills are tropical and home to deer, lion, leopards and the rare golden monkey. Whereas, the Inner Himalaya region is temperate; wildlife includes bear, boar and sambar and the area is rich in deciduous forests. In a nutshell, Bhutan is perfect home for all the species. Bhutan’s capital is Thimphu, which lies at a height of over 2400m (8000ft) in a fertile valley.

It resembles a large, widely dispersed village rather than a capital. Delving into Bhutan’s history, in 1865, Britain and Bhutan signed the Treaty of Sinchulu. Under this treaty, Bhutan would receive an annual subsidy in exchange for ceding some border land. Influenced by the British, a monarchy was set up in 1907 and three down the line a treaty was signed whereby the British agreed not to interfere in Bhutanese internal affairs and Bhutan allowed Britain to direct its foreign affairs. After the British rule came to an end in 1947, this role was assumed by independent India. Bhutan being one of the smallest countries in the world, is not that developed but is presently on the track of development. The economy, of this small and least developed country, is primarily based on agriculture and forestry, which provide the main livelihood for more than 90% of the population. During your travel and tour in Bhutan you will learn that agriculture chiefly consists largely of subsistence farming and animal husbandry.

The rugged mountains here, dominate the terrain and make the building of roads and other infrastructure difficult and expensive. Very few know that Bhutan is very famous for its stamps. The best place to buy them is Phuentsholing, where the Philatelic Office of Bhutan has its headquarters. Also the first and only department store of Bhutan is also in Phuentsholing. Very few know that Punakha was the former capital of the country; situated at a lower altitude, it enjoys a comparatively benign climate. If you think that’s enough, then you are wrong since Bhutan Tourism has more to showcase on the spectacular country. Tongsa is the inherited home of the Royal family. Herein the Dzong at Tongsa commands a superb view of the river valley and contains a magnificent collection of rhino horn sculptures. The district of Wangdiphodrang is known for its slate carving and bamboo weaving.

Thus, tired of your busy and hectic schedule it is the time to travel and tour Bhutan through Bhutan tourism.
