About Bhutan
Bhutan limits tourism to keep its culture and forests intact, which makes a trip feel unhurried: prayer flags on mountain passes, dzongs above rivers and the Tiger’s Nest monastery on a cliff.
Indian travellers have the simplest entry of any visitors, and a week covers Paro, Thimphu and Punakha comfortably.
