The mysterious little kingdom of<\/strong> Bhutan is located in the Himalayas, between India, China and Nepal. <\/strong>In Bhutan we will see the phenomenon of a country untouched by the achievements of modern civilization. Limited access to the country for tourists and its isolation from the outside world allow it to preserve its national identity and authenticity, not for nothing it is called “The Last Shangri-La”. <\/strong>Bhutan is the last place on the planet where the purity and pristine nature and wildlife, simplicity and openness of people have been preserved. People there wear national costumes, and until a few years ago there was no television or radio in Bhutan. Tibetan culture has been preserved <\/strong>here in its purest form. <\/strong>This is the land of Buddhism, purity and enlightenment.<\/p>\n\n

Bhutan is often rated as the happiest country in the world, <\/strong> and the economy here is not measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) but by Gross National Happiness. <\/p>\n\n

In Bhutan, every woman is a dakini, a demigoddess, and every man is a tantric yogi.<\/strong> This is the land where the tantric guru Padmasambhava and his wife Yeshe Tsogyal practiced meditation. The Tantric couple traveled from Tibet to Taksang, an ancient cave temple, above the “tiger’s den” cave. Yoshe Tsogyal turned into a tigress on whose back Padmasambhava flew to Bhutan. Even today, the Buddhist Tantric tradition of Nigma brought by the precious guru has been preserved in Bhutan.<\/p>\n\n

The doors to this amazing realm were not opened until 1974. Traveling independently in the country is forbidden to this day, and you can only get here by buying a tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
