The Land of Happiness, as it is sometimes called, has many similarities to Nepal. Indeed, it too is located in the Himalayan range and surrounded by two huge countries: India and China.

This makes its access more expensive, but it is the price to pay to find out on the spot why hiking in Bhutan.
Apart from a strip of plain twenty kilometers to the south, Bhutan is mainly made up of mountains. These are generally at a height of three thousand meters in the center, but reach over seven thousand meters in the northwest. This therefore leaves a good play area for hiking while drunk.

Religion is a daily part of the life of the Bhutanese. It is therefore normal to find many Buddhist temples and other fortress-monasteries (dzong) across the country. As for citing the most famous sites for their monuments, we can name:
Festivals and parties are regularly held in Bhutan. Besides, almost every month has a cultural event. During a trip, it is therefore often possible to participate in one of its festivals in order to immerse yourself in Bhutanese culture and meet many jubilant people. To only cite a few:

It is therefore a large part of the country that is placed in protected areas. You can also find the list of ten national parks in Bhutan (in french though).
