| The Buddhist Kingdom of the Peaceful Thunder Dragon, Bhutan, lies in the folds of the splendid mountain of the eastern Himalayas between India and China, two of the largest and most populous countries in the world. Bhutan is home to one of the world's richest natural environments and a virtually untouched and vibrant Buddhist culture. The Kingdom has over 72% of the land under forest cover that shelters several species of flora and fauna, including many rare and endangered species. Because of its rich and untouched natural heritage, Bhutan has been rightfully declared by scientists as one of the ten global "Hot Spots". |
