Bhutan - or Drukyul, the Land of the Thunderdragon - is the last Himalayan Kingdom. Because of its conservative policy to restrict tourists and foreign influence it keeps the Bhutanese culture and tradition alive and makes it to the last true Illusion of the legendery Shangri-La. Enjoy the untouched nature and the unspoiled culture with its hospitable people.

    Nice video, thanks for posting this. Wish there was really a shangri la. However, since the earth is a place of opposites (ex good AND bad), a shangrila is therefore theoretically impossible on the earth. Shangrila can only exist in a realm of perfection or oneness - heaven. Does anybody know the name of the music or chant used in this video?

    "Om Mani Padme Hum" - a Buddhist prayer/chant in many versions.

    guess you are one of them. why do you think these group people were expelled. i will tell you the reason, these group of people didn't believe in the concept of one nation -one people. they murdered their own kind who believed that this concept of one nation- one people is very appropriate for the small nation which was at the brink of being over taken by the chinese or indian. some of this people who stayed behind and followed the rules are very prosperous now and happy.
