Where is Bhutan?

Many people across the world are not aware of existance of a country called Bhutan. It can be for many reasons. Bhutan was isolated until 1960s, Bhutan is very small, Bhutan is sandwiched between two giant countries.

Trekking In Bhutan

Spring, March to April and autumn, September to November are the best times for trekking in Bhutan. The day temperature is warm while the night temperature can go between 20 degree Celsius to minus 10 degree Celsius in high altitude areas.

Druk Wangyal Chorten

Dochula Pass sits right along the road on the way to Punakha from Thimpu. It was built to honor the casualties of a recent war resulting from a conflict with rebels from the South who wanted to secede. The King himself personally led an army of about 7,000 volunteers to drive out tens of thousands of rebels. Not one to glorify war nor their victory, the King had this monument built instead to honor both the dead soldiers and dead rebels from the conflict.

Festivals In Bhutan

Bhutan is one of the most religious countries in the Tibetan Buddhist world. And like in all Buddhist nations, festivals have a special place in the hearts of its residents. Most of the Bhutanese festivals commemorate the deeds of the Buddha, or those of the great masters of the past associated with one Buddhist tradition or another.

Rafting in Bhutan

The clean and clear rivers of Bhutan are one of the kingdom’s best kept open secrets. Fed by the Eastern Himalayas, the six rivers (Wang Chhu, Sunkosh, Puna Tsang Chhu, Mangde Chhu, Kuri Chhu and Dangme Chhu and their tributaries) have been scouted for kayaking and rafting.

The Top 10 Friendliest Cities in the World

Readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine have named a seaside, partygoers' destination on an island in the south of Brazil the friendliest in the world.

Florianopolis beat out other cities like Thimphu, Bhutan; Charleston, South Carolina; and Kilkenny, Ireland to become the highest rated destination when it comes to welcoming visitors with open arms.
A common thread among the top 10 friendliest cities is that most are small to mid-sized destinations from less affluent, modest countries such as Bhutan, Burma, Ireland and Indonesia.
Predictably, nowhere is there a New York, London or Tokyo in sight.
And interestingly, while the top 10 friendliest list includes a lone US representative (Charleston, South Carolina), half of the cities listed as the top unfriendliest destinations are American.
