Bhutan is a landlocked country surrounded by two gigantic neighbors India and Tibet Autonomous Region of China but it has never been capitalized in history. Highest peak of Bhutan Gangkhar Puensum is 7570m and also one of the highest mountains which is unclimbed in the world most of the other peaks in the north is over 7000m but also it has lush subtropical plains in other direction. Unlike other countries where growth is measured by Gross National Product it is measured here in Gross National Happiness and its pioneer in this field. It is also one of the least corrupt countries of South Asia. Bhutan is called “The Land of Thunder Dragons” due to the intensity of thunderstorms that hit the region from the Himalayas. Ranging to its diversity from Himalayas to subtropical plains it has rich wildlife including rare golden Langaur, tiger, red panda, Himalayan black bear, leopard, gray wolf, and elephant. The people are Buddhist, and their culture is fascinating. Capital and largest city of Bhutan is Thimpu, but the main airport is located at Paro which is 1.5 hours away from Thimpu. Bhutan is one of the first Carbon Negative countries in the world where it absorbs more carbon dioxide than the amount produced.
