Bhutan Trip
Bhutan Trip

Bhutan tour package from India


The word ‘Bhutan’ translates to ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’. It earned the nickname because of the fierce storms that often roll in from the Himalayas. Bhutan is tucked between China and India and is lanced by deep ravines and coated with thick woods.

The country has no traffic lights. Smoking, as well as tobacco products, are illegal, as are hunting and fishing (except for catch and release).

Monasteries, often massive and commanding—abound; monks, when not in prayer or meditation or chores are often found playing board games, sharing stories or laughing.

Archery is the national sport and green chili pepper together with ‘cheesy sauce’ is the national dish.

Ask any resident, and likely you’ll find they truly do love their king and queen.

Bhutanese manners dictate that you are to refuse food whenever it’s offered to you. The tradition is to say the words ‘meshu meshu’ and cover your mouth with your hands. You can give in, though, after two or three offers.

We can just go on and on with these simple yet beautiful qualities that the place and the people there. But we would like you to join in and experience the feeling ‘Happiness is a Place’.
