| Bhutan has been described as an ecological wonder
of the eastern himalayas. Even as the world mourns the loss of
its ecology, this small Himalayan Kingdom is emerging as an example
to the international community, with more than 72 percent of its
land still under forest and a great variety of rare plant and
wildlife species.
Wedged between China and India, Bhutan's terrain ranges from the sub-tropical foothills in the south, through the temperate zones, to dizzying heights of over 7,300 meters (24,000 feet). In Historical records Bhutan was known as Lhojong Menjong 'the Southern Valley of Medicinal Herbs' Besides these rare herbs, the Bhutanese seasons are reflected in full colour by wild flowers and plants which carpet the mountainsides. Among them, Rhododendron of numerous shades and the Blue Poppy, the National flower, are visual delight across the country. The dense forests, also ranging from the sub-tropical to the temperate, are home to numerous rate and endangered species of wildlife like the Blue Sheep, the elusive Snow Leopard, the Himalayan Black Bear, the Golden langur, the Takin, the Tiger. Several northern valleys are home to the Black Necked Crane in winter. With the beauty of the majestic snow-capped peaks and fertile valleys, the clean crisp air, unpolluted habitats, and large tracts of virgin forests, Bhutan is, indeed, a unique world .
