Bhutan – Himalayan Mountain Kingdom

Extensively revised and updated by the world’s leading expert on Bhutan who
has many years experience visiting and working in this amazing kingdom.

Shoe-horned into the Grand Himalayas, Bhutan – Land of the Peaceful Thunder
Dragon – is a fiercely independent kingdom. Isolated, charming, peaceful, and
religious. The Bhutanese are a pragmatic, sensitive people who take from the
West what will benefit their country and leave the rest.

The countryside is pristine, the lifestyle and culture have been preserved for
centuries, and the love of life is abundant among the people. Few outsiders
know Bhutan as intimately as Françoise Pommaret.
