Hidden in the foothills of the Himalayas, Bhutan, land of the thunder dragon, is an extraordinary destination. Sandwiched between two global giants -- India and China -- Bhutan has somehow managed to preserve both its heritage and its environment. From the moment you arrive, you are treated as guests and not as tourists. The Bhutanese are respectful and welcoming.
