No US travel warnings for Bhutan!

The US State department has issued no specific travel warnings for Americans traveling to the countries of Bhutan, India, Thailand. Aside from the normal warning to avoid large crowds in Nepal, Americans are simply urged to exercise caution world wide. The border between India and Pakistan on the opposite side of the Indian subcontinent is very tightly controlled and far from Bhutan. The people and the governments of Bhutan, India, Thailand and even Nepal are very friendly towards Americans and have demonstrated their solidarity with the USA during this time of mourning and resolve. Flights on Druk Air have always had the strictest security and the best pilots in the world. Many of Bhutan's pilots were trained by the world famous American pilot "Captain George." 

Bhutanese tour operators encourage all visitors to continue with their travel plans and consider travel to the Kingdom of Bhutan to be extremely safe for Americans and all visitors at every step of the way. Be sure that security is as tight as it ever has been and means that this is the safest time of all to travel and Bhutan is one of the safest places for anyone to be.

Note: During your newsgroup search on Bhutan, you will come across some interest groups on the political situation in Bhutan. A good example is the Kathmandu post, a Nepalese newspaper, which has become a "mouth-piece" for these groups and there is one or two articles every other day. Please note that we have deliberately left out these websites from the list here because their content is mostly propaganda. Most of the information is grossly distorted and biased and in our opinion misinformed. There are two sides to every story.
