The Royal Government of Bhutan issued the first regular postage stamps valid for internal as well as international use, on 10th October ’62. Since then the postage stamps of Bhutan have established a reputation in the international market for their thematic value and technical excellence. On them are depicted countless designs of portraits, flowers, pictures of historical Dzongs, animals-indeed the entire gamut of the national heritage of Bhutan in one or all the colours of the rainbow. The stamps of Bhutan have served as silent ambassadors and as emblems of good-will.

Philately is the collection and study of postage stamps and related items. Stamp collecting is and should remain a pleasure. The most important thing to remember about stamp collecting is to enjoy it and not to think of it as an investment.
It is delightful hobby that sharpens and satisfies a person's artistic taste. while expanding the knowledge of an interaction with the world you live in, you get to know interesting details of politics, history, prominent personalites, national and international events, geography, flora and fauna, agriculture, monuments, modes of transport etc. this process of learning becomes more enjoyable through visuals and brief write ups. In addition, philately helps you to make friends across boundaries and age limits.
