Bhutan is one of the last areas still pristine in all its nature, where nature and people live in harmony. Untainted flora, un-hunted fauna, rare botanical plants, the colourful birds and the scenic beauty offers a great treat for both young and old. Festivals with mask dances depicting its great cultural past and Himalayan Ranges in the background definitely deserves a visit. Highest unclimbed mountain in the world, Gangkar Puensum (7,570-M) is also located in Bhutan. Besides Bhutan, Assam, Sikkim and Darjeeling are popular destinations located in the same Himalayan Belt.
