Travel Bhutan - Thimphu:  The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is becoming increasingly popular for well-heeled travellers keen to explore this remote and unspoiled Buddhist Shangri La. Surrounded by mountains and flanked by India and Tibet, this tiny country has only been opened to tourism for a few decades and its traditional way of life remains miraculously preserved despite the growing prevalence of mobile phones and cable television.

The package cost includes all meals, accommodation, guide, driver and car. www.bhutanbesttravel.com
