Bhutan

Nestled among the picturesque forested foothills of the eastern Himalayas, the tiny medieval Kingdom of Bhutan is sandwiched between Tibet and India. An enigmatic, welcoming and thoroughly charming country, Bhutan embraces Buddhism and the unique principle of Gross National Happiness. It's easy to imagine that happiness isn't a problem for the hospitable and courteous Bhutanese people; they are surrounded by a landscape unspoilt by pollution and daunting in its beauty.

Despite its compact size, Bhutan offers the modern-day visitor a wealth of remarkable attractions and experiences. More than forty percent of the Kingdom's lands comprise protected National Parks and wildlife reserves which provide habitats for a diversity of exotic birds and animals. Bhutan's towns and villages, meanwhile, are steeped in tradition and exquisite Buddhist architecture. But Bhutan is not entirely rooted in the past, as the intriguing blend of ancient and modern culture presented by its unmissable capital city, Thimphu, amply demonstrates.

“Great Rail has done it again! Another fabulous holiday. Everything I could have wished for. The service of our Tour Manager was first rate, especially when we had to relocate to another hotel in Darjeeling at very short notice. The work she put in to ensuring a great adventure was deeply appreciated by all. Thanks also to the team at GR who put together the itinerary - whilst we added a few excursions when time permitted, I really felt that they had given us the best insight, especially in Bhutan. Keep both the Tour Guides as well - excellent friendly service, imparting as much knowledge as they could. You are a great company GR, thanks are not enough, but I highly recommend you whenever there is an opportunity.
