"Scholars are generally agreed that the evolution of Bhutan as a modern state can be attributed to four major events. These are, the advent of Buddhism in Bhutan with the arrival of Guru Padmasambhava in the 8th century AD; establishment of the Drukpa Kargue Sect by Phajo Drugom Shigpo in 13th century AD; the unification of Bhutan under a central authority by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 17th century AD and the (less)

For many years the outside world had no name for Bhutan, although its people call it Druk Yul, The Land of the Thunder Dragon. Perched precariously between India and Tibet, it is a remote and little-known kingdom which until 1974 admitted no foreign tourists.

The people are passionate defenders of their ethnic identity and Independence and have been able to keep their rich traditions alive. Also unique is the way in which they understand the meaning of progress, based not simply on economic development but on the level at which they preserve their cultural and environmental heritage.
