Bhutan – Happiness is a Place

Bhutan is perhaps the world’s most exclusive tourist destination, it only opened for tourism in 1974, after the coronation of the present King. The country still retains its old world charm and a visit here encompasses ancient temples, monasteries and stupas which dot the countryside, prayer flags fluttering above farmhouses and on the hillsides, lush forests, rushing glacial rivers, and perhaps most important of all the warm smiles and genuine friendliness of the people. Of course, the highlight of this trip is the extravagant and vibrant festival which takes place in the country’s largest monastery, The Thimpu Tshechu.
