Although the best and easiest way to get to Bhutan is by air, this is not the most convenient way. Flights are limited to several destinations, including Bangkok in Thailand, Kathmandu in Nepal, Delhi and Calcutta in India, and Dhaka in Bangladesh. A number of tickets is limited due to jets' seat capacity. Flights can be postponed due to weather conditions. To compensate all that, Druk Air that operates all flights to Bhutan has an irreproachable safety record - without a single accident since its inception in 1983.

While the world has evolved throughout the centuries, Bhutan has hidden in the Himalayas. Although Bhutan introduced television and the Internet in 1999, it still has many places where the life has not changed much for about a century. Ancient dzongs or fortresses that combine monastic and governmental functions, centuries-old Ihakhangs or Buddhist temples form a unique architectural landscape. At the same time, a natural landscape mesmerizes with an unbelievable animal and plant life.
