Bhutan: The Land of Happiness, Mountains and Surprises
I went to Bhutan for the mountains and monasteries.
I left with aching legs, a full stomach, a deeper understanding of Tibetan Buddhism, a new appreciation for prayer wheels and giant phalluses, and a strong desire to return.
Between hiking Tiger’s Nest, crossing suspension bridges, meeting extraordinary people, soaking in glacier-stone baths, and driving through some of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen, Bhutan completely won me over.
This is the story of how the Land of the Thunder Dragon exceeded every expectation I had.
