Bhutan

When you are looking for a truly eco-friendly holiday destination, what immediately comes to mind is beautiful Bhutan. The Land of the Peaceful Thunder Dragon — Druk Yul,  or Bhutan as the world knows it, is a rare jewel of a holiday  destination…even more so now when deep concerns beset us about global warming and unhealthy tourism trends. For decades the country has been reputed the world over for its eco-friendly tourism policy (in fact ever since it reluctantly opened up the country to tourism in 1974) which continues to define the framework for its growth and development as a tourist destination. Ranked amongst the world’s top ten bio-diverse hot spots it has very seriously and consciously preserved its ecological strengths, rooted deeply in the emotional world of the Bhutanese people and their deep and abiding belief in the spiritual ties of man and Nature.
