Ten world-renowned photographers

Two acclaimed writers

One timeless Himalayan kingdom

Bhutan: Portrait of a Kingdom is a rare and contemplative journey into the soul of a country where nature, tradition, and spirituality are deeply intertwined.

Bhutan: Portrait of a Kingdom is the result of an extraordinary project undertaken under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Jetsun Pema Wangchuck. Over the course of a year, ten internationally recognized photographers travelled across Bhutan, each during a different season, to capture the country’s landscapes, traditions, and spirit through their unique lenses. The book also features texts by Matthieu Ricard and Pico Iyer, as well as exclusive photographs taken by His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. Together, these contributions offer an intimate and timeless portrait of a kingdom where heritage, nature, and harmony are deeply intertwined.

A journey into the heart of Bhutan. With more than 300 richly illustrated pages, this book offers a unique immersion into one of the world’s most preserved kingdoms. Through the lens of ten internationally acclaimed photographers, including Steve McCurry, Vincent Munier, Matthieu Ricard, and Michael Yamashita (National Geographic), Bhutan is revealed across the seasons, between grand landscapes, living traditions, and moments of everyday life. This exceptional art book, printed with remarkable care and presented in an elegant clothbound hardcover is more than just a book, it is a precious object to offer — an invitation to travel and contemplation, to discover a mythical land in the heart of the Himalayas.
