Great Bhutan Culture

17-Dec-2019

here was something totally different in the air, I don't know how to describe it but it was rejuvenating. I was also enthralled to see the unique tradition and culture of Bhutan and I really liked their arts and crafts. I never knew there were so many subtle meanings behind every piece of art. To the eyes that are accustomed in seeing sky scrapers and metros. A visit to this country will make one realize what one is missing amidst head on civilization.

Mckenzie

Highly Recommend
