If you like to travel around the world? please do not forget to stop by at this place (Tiger’s Nest Monastery) in Bhutan.
Aware of the environmental scarring that high tourism levels have inflicted on its neighbor Nepal, Bhutan imposes stiff tariffs on visitors and controls their activities. These measures, and a responsible attitude toward tourism are helping to successfully preserve this last untouched Himalayan culture.
Bhutan, the “Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon,” is no ordinary place. About the size of Switzerland, Bhutan is a remote land of peace and natural beauty. Almost all the country is mountainous, with furious rivers sourced from the high Himalaya, and over two-thirds is densely forested. The country’s commitment to conservation is exemplified in a 1995 law that requires at least 60 percent of its land to remain forested.
