Wedged amidst the jagged contours of the Himalayas, between India and Tibet, lies the timeless Kingdom of Bhutan. Immersed in tradition, folklore, and deepseated Buddhist beliefs, Bhutan has in recent years opened up, and the time to visit is while these fabulous traditions and beautiful mountains remain intact. Its endless tracts of Himalayan forest carpeting the snowcapped ranges symbolizes reverence and respect for all things natural. Top quality birds like the enigmatic Ibisbill, dazzling Himalayan Monal, outrageous Satyr Tragopan, localized Ward’s Trogon, remarkable Rufousnecked Hornbill, Beautiful Nuthatch, and the breathtaking Firetailed Myzornis await the few devoted souls that venture into this rich kingdom. One of Bhutan’s greatest appeals is that it has retained its traditional practices and beliefs, and remains virtually uninfluenced by the west, making it not only a great birding destination, but also culturally fascinating.
