Bhutan
Bhutan is tiny kingdom that is probably the closest thing to
paradise on earth! Although it is “poor” by the definition
of western economics, it's an incredibly rich country in terms
of its culture, people, natural beauty, and pristine environment.
The King is a forward thinking individual, and everyone in the
country is given free education and health care among many other
benefits. It is the only country on earth that has a government
policy of “Gross National Happiness” where the goal
is to provide citizens with a perfect balance of economic opportunity,
a clean environment, and spiritual well being! Although Bhutan
is expensive to visit due to a government policy that drastically
limits the number of tourists allowed into the country, once you
visit it, you will understand why, and gladly support this policy!
For people who have trekked with us in other parts of the Himalayas,
or if you're new and looking for a truly special and unique experience,
a trip to Bhutan is a highlight not to be missed!
