Bhutan

It is the most beautiful country with an incredibly inspiring view on life. I visited Bhutan when I was 15 and it has definately played a vital part in who I am today.

PLACES TO GO:
Ura, the first village in Bhutan. A wealth of stories to tell.
Tigers Nest. Awe-striking
Bumthang valley, central Bhutan. Beautiful

THINGS TO DO:
Get slightly lost in the wilderness
Go to a religious festival
Paro village markets

p.s. you’ll need at least a year to fully enjoy this magical country…

I want to visit the last Buddhist kingdom and learn about dzongs and such

It’s a remote, mostly untouched part of the world surrounded by Buddhism. I think it would be amazing.

I want to take my daughter backpacking through Bhutan. My goal is to get us there in the next year or two.

my friend and junior at college ritu recently wrote a blog post on his trip to bhutan, after reading it I decided i will go to bhutan. It is a must visit,

I believe any country that attemtpts to measure quality of life by gross national happiness merits a visit.

its a very nice place to be …. u get to c a new side of life… its scenic and full of adventure….

Always wanted to go there, never have been able to swing it on our trips to Southeast Asia or India. A friend of ours who works for Air Baltic got to live there for several months when Druk Air leased their planes. She loved it. Maybe someday we’ll get there.

When I was studying in Thailand, I went to school with a prince from Bhutan! Before this, I’d never even heard of the place. But after meeting Bhutanese peers and tasting their food, my interest definitely peaked. The representatives of their culture we had on campus were all lovely and generous people. I think it’d be a fun place to visit.

Bhutan was an unsoiled land in 2001. No cable television, and very little western influence. That seems to be changing, however, from what I hear it’s still a great place. I was in Bhutan for 2 weeks… great place. Go during October or festival season for some great experiences.
