Last Shangri-La

Bhutan remained closed to tourism until 1974 and still maintains a "High Value, Low Impact" tourism policy. Only about 300,000 tourists visit annually, ensuring pristine experiences.

72% Forest Coverage

By constitutional mandate, Bhutan must maintain at least 60% forest coverage forever. Currently at 72%, it's one of the most forested countries in Asia.

First Tobacco-Free Nation

Bhutan was the first country in the world to ban tobacco sales completely. Smoking in public is prohibited, reflecting their commitment to public health.

Land of the Thunder Dragon

Bhutan means "Land of the Thunder Dragon" in Dzongkha. The thunder was believed to be the roar of dragons, hence the dragon on their national flag.
