Bhutan conjures up images of an isolated Himalayan kingdom with incredible mountain ranges, a vibrant culture, colorful masked dancers, fantastic temples and architecture, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, food laced with spicy red and green chilies, friendly people and abundant Gross National Happiness. And of course, birders think of Bhutan’s rare and very special birds including Ibisbill, Satyr Tragopan, White-bellied Heron, Palla’s Fish Eagle, Ward’s Trogon, Beautiful Nuthatch, Dark-rumped Swift, Yellow-rumped Honeyguide, Rufous-necked Hornbill, and many others. We were very fortunate to have been able to experience all of the above during a fantastic trip to Bhutan.
