THIMPHU - Following the Kensington Palace's announcement on Jan 9, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Prince William and Kate Middleton finally touched down in the tiny Himalayan country of Bhutan in the morning of April 14.

Looking rather stunning in a golden coatdress, the Duchess, who completed three-day visit to India with her husband Prince William, reached the Paro International airport at 10:56 am. The King's sister Princess ChhimiYangzom Wangchuck welcomed the Royal Couple along with her husband and a team of delegates.

They are the first British Royals visiting Bhutan since the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles trip to the country in 1998. The Royal Couple's visit marks yet another historic moment for Bhutan. After a brief photo session at the airport, the two whisked off to the capital city of Thimphu.
