Our Experiences: There is something different about Bhutan. The country has been for long frozen in time in the Himalayas, isolated from the modern world and untouched by human degradation. The first international airport was built only in 1983 and before the 60’s there weren’t even paved roads. Today Bhutan has incorporated the modern technologies, but it still looks like a an ancient traditional society with simple values and a naïve way of living. This is the beauty of Bhutan. They are the only nation that evaluates officially people´s happiness. The building style in Bhutan is something remarkable. It is strictly preserved and very interesting. From schools to hospitals and airports, all constructions have the same Bhutanese style. Amazing!
