Bhutan

To begin to understand Bhutan, you simply must go there.    The incredible intricate artwork and architecture of the buildings  is amazing.  The Paro Dzong (fort) andKyichu Monastery are excellent examples of this.  Perhaps the most spectacular monastery is the Taktsang Monastery(Tiger’s Nest), which is perched on the ledge of a virtually sheer-cliffed mountain.   Western Bhutan is largely in a valley, but if you’re looking for adventure you can take multi-day treks into the Himalayas in order to take in this marvelous, pristine region of the world!  Western Bhutan is changing fast; the modern world is mixing very quickly with this ancient society.
