Bhutan is a landlocked nation between the two gigantic nations, China in the north and India in the south, with an area of just over 38000 square kilometers and population over 0.7 million. The country is also known as land of happiness to the rest of the world with the introduction of the famous philosophy Gross National Happiness by the fourth King His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck. The concept of GNH is steeped in spiritual well being or happiness of the people rather than just on progress.  Bhutan is also admired for its natural beauty and its friendly people.
