BHUTAN-If ever there be a place that can take the clich?

 

Shrouded in the mists of the Eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is a 47,000 sq Kilometer Kingdom (about the size of Switzerland) tightly wedged between Chinese Tibet and northern India.

Today it is the last bastion of Mahayana Buddhism. The religion, which influences every aspect of life here, was also the main impetus behind its birth.

It is similar in size to Switzerland and has a population of about 700,000. [more]

Geographically, Bhutan is divided into five main regions: the northern, the central, the western, the eastern and the southern. The majority of the population lives in the western part of Bhutan, where the capital city of Bhutan is located. There are three climate zones: Southern Bhutan, subtropical, pleasant in winter. Eastern, Western and Central Bhutan, moderate alpine climate, pleasant throughout the year. Northern Bhutan, great Himalayas snow covered during winter.

Bhutan is today lauded as one of the few nations with its environment and a unique culture and tradition still intact. Recently declared one of the 10 global hot spots for environment conservation. Bhutan boasts an unsurpassed wealth of biodiversity and forest cover. More than 60 percent of the endemic species found in the Eastern Himalayas thrive in the subtropical, temperate and alpine regions of the nation.

HIS MAJESTY THE KING and the people of Bhutan received the Champion Of The Earth award in New York on April, 2005 from the United Nations Environment Division.

It was recognition of Bhutan commitment in placing the environment at the center of its development plan and giving high priority to its preservation and sustainable use.

The successful preservation of lifestyle and environment does not mean that Bhutan has forsworn off progress. Since the 1960 Bhutan has followed a policy of planned development, prudently utilizing her resources and achieving a high level of development.
