The world's only carbon-negative country — Tiger's Nest Monastery, pristine Himalayan forests and Gross National Happiness.
Bhutan is unique among travel destinations in the world. It charges a Sustainable Development Fee (currently $100/day) which guarantees that every visitor contributes to conservation and community. The result is pristine forests (72% forest cover), no plastic bags, no fast food chains and a genuinely functioning Buddhist kingdom that measures success by Gross National Happiness rather than GDP.
