Bhutan, the "Land of the Thunder Dragon," is a peaceful Himalayan kingdom known for its breathtaking valleys, traditional architecture, and strong cultural heritage. From Siliguri, it's possible to reach Bhutan by road via Phuentsholing, making it a convenient and scenic journey for Indian travelers.

Whether you want to explore the capital city Thimphu, hike to the world-famous Tiger's Nest Monastery in Paro, or experience Bhutan's serene countryside, every mile offers a view worth remembering. The slower pace of life, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and the warm hospitality of the Bhutanese people make this trip truly special.
