Cut down the noise, slow down the rush. Add a splash of green and a dash of chillies. Dig out every known shade of green in your paint box. Let the mountains rise high. Slip a mask on and dance. Let the flags flutter outside the monastery. This country is a jumble of impressions. A melange of sight, sound and taste. It’s where time stretches out like a contented cat. Where the air shakes off all her impurities. Where happiness is measured. If you’ve lost your smile – Bhutan will find it. If your eye wanders, Bhutan will catch it. If your soul is hungry, Bhutan will feed it. So, why not plan your next trip to this gorgeous country? It’s close to us, its serene and every element of Bhutan Tourism will charm and delight. So today, let’s take a small step outside our borders…after all, a kingdom awaits.
