Bhutan is a small, landlocked country located in the eastern Himalayas, bordered by China to the north and India to the south, east, and west. It's known for its stunning natural beauty, including snow-capped mountains, lush valleys, and dense forests, which cover around 70% of the country.
Bhutan’s landscape is extremely diverse, ranging from subtropical plains in the south to towering peaks in the north, including its highest point, Gangkhar Puensum (7,570 meters).
Bhutan has a long history of isolation, maintaining a strong sense of independence for centuries. It was only in the mid-20th century that Bhutan started to open up to the outside world.
