1 Bhutan — The Happy Country

Located in the Himalayas, the kingdom of Bhutan is famous for its Gross National Happiness index. You can explore the picturesque scenery and tranquility as you stroll around the city and its outskirts. Whether you want to seek happiness or find a holistic experience, Bhutan is the perfect place to visit at least once in your life.

Tips:

As altitudes across Bhutan differ greatly, the temperature difference between day and night can be large. One should prepare clothes that are adaptable to different seasons. Also, there are no chairs in a Bhutan family’s home, because they always sit directly on the floor.
