Bhutan: Portrait of a Kingdom is a photography book celebrating the beauty, spirit, and heritage of Bhutan – a project undertaken under Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen’s patronage.

The project brought together world-renowned photographers who travelled across Bhutan in different seasons to capture the country’s diverse landscapes, living traditions, and everyday moments through their unique lenses and perspectives. The book features exclusive photographs by His Majesty The King. Accompanying the photographs are texts by Pico Iyer, Matthieu Ricard, and Dasho Kinley Dorji.

Bhutan: Portrait of a Kingdom is published by French publishers Éditions du Pacifique in both English and French. The English edition will be released worldwide through online retailers and select bookstores in Asia, UK, US, and Australia. The French edition will be launched in Paris in December, followed by launches across Southeast Asia and a photographic exhibition in Paris in spring 2026.
