About Bhutan
On the eastern edge of the Himalayas, nestled between India and Tibet, lies the tiny nation of Druk Yul, better known as Bhutan. Almost completely isolated for centuries, it only began to open up to visitors in the 1970s while strongly guarding its ancient traditions.
Bhutan: Happiness is a place
The Wangchuck hereditary monarchy has wielded power since 1907. But with the March 2008 elections, Bhutan transformed into a democratic, constitutional monarchy. Today, it continues to enchant the rest of the world with its policy of Gross National Happiness that improves the well-being of its people.
Bhutan is known as one of the happiest places on earth. It’s the only country that measures its economic success not by how wealthy its people are, but by how happy they are.
