Bhutan is a Buddhist kingdom and probably the last bastion of the Vajrayana strain of Himalayan Buddhism. Evidence of this deep rootedness is visible in the thousands of monasteries, temples, stupas and prayer flags that dot the country’s rugged mountain terrain.
For Buddhists around the world a visit to Bhutan is like taking a pilgrimage because Bhutan has been blessed by the visits of many great saints and masters who have left behind an invaluable spiritual legacy that permeates the landscape, architecture and traditions of Bhutan.
