Bhutan- The Land of Thunder Dragon. Bhutan, or the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon, is nestled in the lap of the eastern Himalayas bordering with India in the south and China in the north. This tiny kingdom is primarily agrarian and is still a rural country almost devoid of industrialization. Globally, Bhutan is renowned for environment conservation, good governance, religious and cultural preservation. As a "Gift to the Earth", Bhutan maintains more than 70 % of its entire land cover under pristine forest, and was the recipient of the United Nations Environment Programs' Champion of the Earth Award 2005 for environment conservation. Culturally, Bhutan is a country with well-preserved heritage, where religion and traditions of every ethnic group are not the things of the past but an active part of every day life of all Bhutanese citizens.
