520 _aFor many years the outside world had no name for Bhutan, although its people call it Druk Yul, the land of the Thunder Dragon. Perched precariously between Indian and Tibet, it is a remote and little known kingdom which until 1974 admitted no foreign tourists. Now its spectacular mountain beauty and a way of life still firmly rooted in medieval tradition attract visitors from all over the world, although the Bhutanese, well aware of how easily their 'gross national happiness' could be compromised by the demands of tourism, firmly control the numbers which are admitted.
