The world's highest capital, a Himalayan kingdom that measures progress in Gross National Happiness, with fortress monasteries, giant Buddha statues and pristine mountain landscapes.
Thimphu is unlike any other capital in the world. Bhutan's measured tourism policy (visitors pay a Sustainable Development Fee of $100/night minimum) ensures the country remains the world's only carbon-negative nation and arguably the most culturally intact in Asia. Thimphu is the cultural and administrative heart, the King's palace, the ancient Tashichho Dzong monastery-fortress, the giant Buddha Dordenma statue and a city centre that has no traffic lights by choice. Everything operates within the framework of Gross National Happiness.
Whether you are planning a high-stakes executive retreat or a massive international summit, this location offers the infrastructure and the inspiration to make it unforgettable.
