Resting peacefully in the lap of the eastern Himalayas is Bhutan, the kingdom of the  Thunder Dragon. It shares its border in the North with China and with India in the East, West and South. Divided into three zones of Southern foothills, central region and higher mountain ranges the country boasts one of the richest flora and fauna on earth. High, rugged mountains and an intricate network of deep valleys, ravines and waterfalls characterize the kingdom’s physical features. Its eco-system is home to some of the most exotic species of birds, animals and plants. Thanks to these natural endowments, Bhutan has been acknowledged as one of the 10 bio-diversity hot spots in the world. The pristine environment and its unspoiled beauty is a welcome respite for both young and old, who wish to get away from the pangs of city life.
