Hey There!
It was Dec 27 2018, we started our spectacular journey to one of the most amazing countries in the world - Bhutan. I was very fortunate to happen to visit this wonderful place. Three college friends decided to spend our New year together among some strangers in a stranger country!
Journey started from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport - Hyderabad to Bagdogra Airport - West Bengal where we were asked to stay for a day and the journey to the land of thunder dragon begun!!
We traveled from Bagdogra to Bhutan through bus and the Government over there is very supportive towards Indians because of the good friendship and sharing between the two countries. We reached Bhutan Gate ( clicked a few pictures ). It was astounding to see a few steps away and we are in another country. Here are few pics :

Their world is completely organised and their beautiful homes are all of the same shape ( square ) with an extended roof and this happens to be their culture and it all looked very elegant.
En - route Bhutan :
One of the thing i am also fond of this beautiful country is : Unlike GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is known to be measured as the standard of living in one's state, GNH is used as the standard in Bhutan which means - Gross National Happiness and they nurture their society, preserve the culture for generations to come, Medical facilities are free of cost ( beared by the govt. ) etc. It's also known as the Kingdom of happiness.
Bhutan constitution mandates that at least 60% should be in forest cover for all the time to come, currently the forest cover is 71% which is phenomenal as it is also trying to nurture the world with it's stringent green policies and can be a role model to many nations aspiring to do their bit towards conserving environment.
Next trip - we happened to visit Dordenma statue - Biggest Buddha statue in Bhutan - Thimphu. Here are few snapshots :
