Bhutan Guide for Nokia N97 mini Touchscreen
Bhutan is a landlocked Himalayan country with India to the south and Tibet to the north. Villages and towns are unspoilt, the national religion still 100 per cent Buddhist. It has a calm political life with a highly respected monarch, His Majesty Jigme Kesar Namgyel Wangchuk.
In 1974, there were less than 300 paying visitors. In 2005, the figure increased to 13,600 - still a relatively small incursion on a nation where the culture is so intact that its population, of less than a million, wears national dress. The vast majority live a rural existence.
