because of its isolation and its Buddhist religion
**got it from my history book
Pope Urban II agreed to help the Byzantines when they were attacked by Muslim Turks in the Holy Land. In response to a request for assistance from Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, he called for the First Crusade in 1095 at the Council of Clermont. This rallying cry aimed to aid the Byzantines and reclaim Jerusalem, leading to a large-scale mobilization of Christian knights and soldiers from Europe.
It was the Crusaders returning from the holy land, that brought with them this legend.

St. Helena lived a very pious and holy life. At a very advanced age she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. While there, she located many of the sites made holy by Our Lord and recovered relics, which she then sent to Rome and Constantinople. With help from her son, Emperor Constantine the Great, she had a number of churches and shrines constructed to commemorate special sites in the Holy Land. Upon her death she was proclaimed a saint by popular acclaim. There was no formal process at the time for canonization. That did not come until about the 12th century.

Bhutan
For many centuries, the outside world had no name for Bhutan. Its lofty frontiers wrapped it in an impenetrable cloak of mystery. The Tibetan chroniclers of the 18th century referred to it by many names, including "Hidden Holy Land," The Southern Valley of Medicinal Herbs," and "the Lotus Garden of the Gods." However, the Bhutanese have had a name for their own country for centuries. They still refer to their land as Druk Yul, literally meaning "The Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon."

Hi. Bhutan is a very beautiful country. It is the land of monasteries. It is famous for the Himalaya. You can see the hidden side of the great Himalaya. It's the most memorable place for the visitors. Last time when I was on my Bhutan trip I enjoyed the Bhutan's famous Thimphu festival and it was awesome. There are many places to visit Bhutan. Once a time you must go there and feel the excellent nature of Bhutan.
