Imagine driving on a winding road carved into lush hillsides, climbing over the ridges, the air so clean you could glimpse snow-capped mountains hundreds of miles away. The country reveals itself as a canvas of stunning landscapes, incredible architecture, and rich biodiversity teeming with wildlife, testament to the generations of sustainable efforts. Bhutan is not Bhutan without its green forests, splendid architecture and blue skies. Did you know that over 70% of Bhutan is under forest cover? This is actually enshrined in our constitution!
