Bhutan
is the best-kept secret in the travel industry. Due to
its relative isolation, the country is not known to the
outside world and until 1960, western visitors rarely
visited the country. Mr. Burt Kerr Todd, the first American
to ever visit Bhutan , wrote in a National Geographic
article on Bhutan (Bhutan, Land of the Thunder Dragon;
December 1952):
Bhutan is protected by mighty Himalayas from the rest
of the world and enriched by the essence of Drukpa Kagyu
School of Buddhism, Bhutan has managed to remain shrouded
deeply in a jealously guarded isolation. A basic understanding
of Bhutan's Buddhism is essential to understanding the
Bhutanese.
"Bhutan lies squarely in the centre
of the Himalayas, amid the highest mountains on earth...in
its 18,000 square miles can be found such variety of climate
and scenery, such grandeur and peacefulness, and such
fascination of the novel and unknown as few countries
its size can boast. Its neighbours are Tibet to the north,
Sikkim to the west, India's West Bengal and Assam to the
south and east."
The "fascination of the novel and unknown" to this day
continues to enthral visitors to Bhutan. Unlike neighbouring
countries which encourage mass tourism, the Royal Government
of Bhutan has chosen a more cautious policy on tourism
largely to preserve its natural and cultural heritage.
As such less than 5,000 travellers discovered Bhutan last
year (compare this with half a million tourists who visited
Nepal in the same time period). Visitors to Bhutan can
feel the benefits of this policy and have a rich and unique
travel experience. Some travellers can spend their entire
time in Bhutan without ever coming across another tourist.
There has never been a "visit Bhutan year" rather the
country awaits to be discovered and explored and Adventure
International promises to be your guide and fellow traveller
on this journey of discovery.
