BHUTAN
Bhutan, is a landlocked Buddhist country on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, it is best known for its monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic landscapes that range from vast plains to steep mountains and deep valleys. Bhutan is well connected to India by flight from many cities in India. One can travel to the Kingdom of Bhutan without a Visa. Bhutan remains a mystical country for Indians for many reasons & this beautiful, calm and safe country is still a virgin destination yet to be explored fully.
Bhutan’s only airport is in Paro and sightseeing of the country starts even before entering the country - while landing when the flight starts to descend into the valleys of Paro. And if you have a window seat then you are lucky - you can watch how the pilot manoeuvring the aircraft between two mountains to land at the Paro airport.
It is recommended that one should stay at Paro and the capital town of Thimphu both for a few days each, so as to enjoy Bhutan at its best.
