Close to Heaven and Earth

Bhutan is the world's last Shangri La, an Arcadian society squeezed in between Tibet and India. For centuries she has remained isolated, in a world of prayer-wheels and prayer-flags; mountains, valleys, and faith. Today Bhutan is still a society as static and fantastic as 1,000 years ago; but the rumblings of the 20th century are now audible from beyond her Himalayan walls.
