A proudly independent and peaceful Buddhist kingdom, Bhutan is back on the tourist trail after decades of self-isolation. A country of spectacular biodiversity, Bhutan has over 678 recorded species of birdlife and 200 species of mammal, including the Bengal tiger and red panda. Bradt's Bhutan is the most up-to-date guide available and the only guidebook to devote a chapter to the southern region of the country and also a detailed wildlife section. With the limit on inbound tourists lifted and the recent launch of a second airline and 12 new trekking routes, there has never been a better or easier time to visit this breathtaking Himalayan kingdom.
