My cousin went to Bhutan a few years back. As far as I know, it's rather difficult to go there - in that they don't really let many people in.

i think i read before that despite Bhutan being one of the poorest countires in the world the monarchy that rule it are extemely rich and it does cost a lot to get into the country visa wise/tour fees.

this is what wiki travel says:

Everybody except citizens of India must apply for a visa at least 30 days in advance. While the visa itself costs a reasonable US$20 for 14 days (extendable once), the visa will not be issued without paid bookings for a tour generally costing upwards of US$200 per day (which includes room, board, guide, and transport in Bhutan). Although the tours are organized by private companies, the cost is not negotiable as it is set by the government, but generally it is slightly cheaper in off-season and more expensive if you take the tour alone. The only other options for visiting the country are to receive an invitation by 'a citizen of some standing' or a volunteer organization. Once the tour or invitation has been accepted, visas will be issued either by immigration at Paro airport or in Phuentsholing - basically all the work for a visa application is completed within Bhutan. There is no need to visit a Bhutanese embassy or consulate.

Bhutan has a Gross National Happiness (GNH) index. And when their top dog allowed in TVs and cop shows, people went around murderising each other.
