Nepal and Bhutan

The kingdoms Nepal and Bhutan are two of the poorest and least developed nations in the world. Located high in the Himalayas, Nepal and Bhutan are very isolated, in fact, Bhutan had no paved roads until the 1960s. Until recently, few people visited either nation. Bhutan continues to discourage tourists and other foreigners because they want to protect their traditional culture. Nepal encourages tourism, but only the heartiest of people are able to hike its mountains and enjoy its majestic scenery.
