The country’s wealth is measured by the happiness of its people, not GDP, and its people are extremely well cared for by the state.”“Crime levels are low, graffiti and litter are non-existent. People are required to wear traditional national dress, which leads to an explosion of colourful costumes wherever you go.”
“I was in Bhutan during the famous Paro Tshechu festival, which includes days of traditional dance performances for visitors from all over dressed in their finest attire.”“Apart from the many beautiful temples and breathtaking scenery, the best thing for me about Bhutan is the warmth and beauty of the people. It is truly a unique place to experience.” Monks enter the dzong (monastery) for the Paro Tshechu Festival.Stunning image of Punakha Dzong, Bhutan.Monks at Punakha Monastery.
