Bhutan
Bhutan approximately the size of Switzerland, covers an area of 47,000 sq.km (18,147 sq.miles), and has the population of less then 700,000. These figures however, do not reflect the incredible geographical and ecological diversity of the country, nor its natural wealth. Rising from 300m (1000 ft) on the Indian frontier to 7300m (14000ft) on the Tibetan (Chinese) border, and in less than 150 km (90 miles) as the crow flies, the land is reminiscent of a gigantic staircase.
