Explore the 369 species of orchids that Bhutan has, of which 82 are unique to the mountain country. See and feel the 46 species of rhododendrons in the country. The tropical evergreen forests growing below 800m are repositories of a unique biodiversity. The tropical vegetation of the lower zones gives way to dark forests of oak, birch, maple, magnolia and laurel. Above 2,400m altitude is the home of spruce, yew, and weeping cy- press, and higher still, growing up to the tree line, is the east Himalayan fir. At about 5,500m are low shrubs, rhododendrons, Himalayan grasses and flowering herbs. Bhutan’s national flower, Blue Poppy grows above the tree line 3,500 – 4,500m elevation.

Though small in size, Bhutan is culturally diverse, with people speaking different dialects shaped by its rugged terrain and once-isolated communities. This diversity is reflected in its regional cuisines. Rice is the staple of every meal, usually served with flavorful curries, the most famous being Ema Datshi—chili cooked with cheese. Bhutanese cuisine is known for its bold spiciness, as chilies are treated more like a vegetable than a spice. Common ingredients include spinach, pumpkins, radishes, tomatoes, beans, and river greens, along with pork, beef, and chicken prepared in various styles. Popular drinks include butter tea, locally brewed ara (rice wine), and beer. Traveling across Bhutan offers a rich culinary journey, with each region presenting its own unique specialties.
