Though small in size, the kingdom’s topography is one of dramatic contrast. From the near tropical southern border with India at an altitude of 300m, the land rise to culminate in the over 7000m peaks of the Himalayas in the north which form a natural frontier with the Tibetan region of Bhutan’s northern neighbor China. In the undiluted culture and tradition of Bhutan is an added attraction for outsiders. Bhutan has much more to offers from cultural festivals to adventures like rafting and many beautiful trekking.
