The easiest way to get to Bhutan is from Nepal or Thailand with a tour group. Nepal to Bhutan is a 1-hour flight, while Thailand to Nepal is a 4-hour flight. Although Bhutan's population was once close to 700,000, it is now less than 500,000 due to the exodus of young people, which is about the size of the average county. Bhutan's consumption level is low, Indians occupy a dominant position in the region, and there are only a few local residents, so only Indians can travel independently, while Singaporeans need to choose tour groups.
Bhutan is not an option, only to join a tour, and the tour guide will provide the services of tourists, and each tourist will pay a tourist tax of US$100, which will be returned to the local residents. It is advisable to travel with a travel companion and take care of each other, especially if you are traveling alone. Bhutan's currency exchange rate is 1:11, and travel costs are low.
Bhutan's unique Tiger's Nest Monastery sits on a cliff face and requires a seven-hour trek to reach. It is a place that uplifts the heart and brings peace and tranquility, perhaps because this pure land has a profound impact on everyone who visits.
Bhutan is committed to the development of tourism, providing good services to foreign tourists, and hotels and tourism facilities are constantly improving. Bhutan relies heavily on tourism to sustain its economy, so there is little to no industrial pollution and a natural and pure environment is maintained.
Bhutanese students receive free education, ordinary people enjoy free medical care, and the state collects a tourist tax for tourists and will use it for education and medical services. It is doubtful that the exodus of young people has led to a depopulation, but the people of Bhutan still show a simple and happy attitude to life.
The locals may not be the happiness of the legend, and life may be full of suffering, but their eyes are clear and bright, showing a simple and happy attitude to life. Bhutan's austere way of life is surprisingly simple, and the way of bartering is a reflection of social harmony and happiness.
Bhutanese architecture, food packaging, and even in-flight meals are emblazoned with dragon motifs, which are deeply believed and used as decoration by Bhutanese people. This unique cultural element reflects the faith and pride of the Bhutanese people.
Young Bhutanese women have excellent weaving skills, and they do so by hand, passing on traditional skills and demonstrating a unique and exquisite handicraft art.
Traveling to Bhutan made me realize a sense of happiness under a low desire of the soul, and this sense of tranquility and satisfaction is indescribable. Unlike the imaginary wonderland, Bhutan presents a rustic way of life that is deeply impressive. True happiness does not come from material luxury, but from inner satisfaction.
