In the majestic mountains of the Himalayas, the Kingdom of Bhutan sits in sovereignty. Roughly the same size as Switzerland, Bhutan dims next to its neighbours’ China, India, and Tibet. In spite the massive contrast, the nation continues to shine through its fascinating landscape and friendliness of the locals.
