Nestled between India and Tibet, Bhutan stands as a unique gem in South Asia, celebrated not only for its scenic landscapes but also for its philosophical pursuit of Gross National Happiness (GNH) over Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As the world’s sole Vajrayana Buddhist nation, it is often referred to as “The Last Kingdom of Bhutan” or “The Last Shangrila.” This reverence is a tribute to its untouched natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and deep-rooted traditions tracing back to the 7th century.

From Germany and Switzerland to Singapore and New York, it’s difficult to find a coveted destination that doesn’t hold an impressive annual market. In fact, some have grown so popular that they’ve become tourist attractions in their own right.
