A diamond on the crown of Himalayas, the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan
A piece of heaven on the earth, the beauty of which will fail any poet’s imagination
A country that represents genuine peace and tranquility
A country represents truly natural beauty
Equally nice are the people who live in the beautiful place
People who represent humanity, dignity, and grace
The country is a spectacular blending of modernity and tradition
Where modern technology happily co-exits with age-old culture and convention
Making regular visit to this land has become my favourite passion
