Nestled in the Himalayas, Bhutan is like a living postcard—impossibly beautiful, fiercely green, and blissfully peaceful. Bhutan’s folks are as humble as they come, always ready with a warm “Kuzuzangpola!” (Hello!) and a smile that can light up the peaks.

Bhutan is not just green; it’s greener than your greenest daydream. With over 70% of its land covered in forests, this tiny kingdom is a haven for flora, fauna, and, well, fresh air! So fresh, in fact, Bhutan is carbon negative. That’s right—they absorb more CO2 than they produce, basically giving the Earth a big, eco-friendly bear hug.

While the world is busy chasing GDP, Bhutan measures success with Gross National Happiness (GNH). Here, happiness isn’t just a feeling; it’s an official policy. Wander through Bhutan’s misty forests, and you might just stumble upon a rare black-necked crane or a red panda—both as shy as they are stunning. Bhutan isn’t just a country; it’s a magical, green sanctuary where happiness truly grows on trees.
