A conscious policy of isolation complemented by formidable geographical barriers has enabled the country to maintain its independence throughout its history. Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, the country ended its self-imposed isolation only in 1961 and embarked on the path of modern development in a fine balance with its ancient traditions. With a development philosophy based on the principles of Gross National Happiness, Bhutan is becoming increasingly known for its unique cultural heritage, pristine ecology and wildlife, unparalleled scenic beauty of its majestic virgin peaks and lush valleys, unspoiled countryside, terraced rice fields, impressive architecture, warm and hospitable people and a devout Buddhist culture that makes this Himalayan Kingdom very special. Many visitors from around the world leave the country mesmerized with the many exotic aspects of the country.
