Traveling east from Nepal, there rests nestled in the heart of the mighty Himalayan a country, known to the natives as Druk Yul or the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Written history finds Bhutan mentioned in the seventh century when Buddhism reached the land. After a long period of internal strife, the country was united by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal who consolidated his spiritual and temporal authority over Bhutan and established the Drukpa Kagyupa tradition of Mahayana Buddhism from which it derives its native name. The sect has continued to this day as the state religion.

Nepal and Bhutan are a mere fifty five minutes apart by air. Bhutan’s airline, Druk Air, flies every Monday and Thursday between Kathmandu with Paro using a BA 146 aircraft. Bhutan can also be entered overland at Phuntsoling which borders the Bengal region of India. Planning a visit from Nepal would spell convenience and unfurl the splendours of the entire Himalayan range.
