Cultural Tours And Their Amazing Qualities

By Pamela Kelly


The people of a nation nicknamed the Land of the Thunder Dragon have taken a new view of nationhood today. It is not about pride of place or being stronger and richer than its neighbors, nor being culturally important. It is about a concept that has been newly enshrined in their constitution in 2008.

The concept is one that has provisions in law that makes happiness a better pursuit than the economic one anchored on GDP. Cultural tours in Bhutan will be enhanced by this, and while it is traditional here, it is something visitors find refreshing and new. Buddhist Bhutan has climate, geography, history and culture that are unique.

The country is a landlocked one, and lies entirely on the Himalayan mountain range. There are broad forests here, and often cold weather, all conducive to meditation and the creation of breathtaking views. While the country is still developing, the principle of GNH is very much a thing that creates great ambience for visitors.

This country is a very enlightened one, according to Buddhist tradition. Because the religion has been the only that has been in existence here for many centuries, and since the nation was once the most remote, it has developed a unique ideology here. The concept of GNH is part of this, and people here have always been happy.

This nation does not participate in geopolitics or wars, and while there is a dispute with China over borders, it is not something people here are worried about. They will continue being happy, and not worry about things like geopolitics and strategy. The Indians are neighbors, and shares the longest border.

Most people here are farmers, and some are semi nomadic, shepherds or wood gatherers. But then, these people roam the inside of their borders and know everyone else, naturally. The entire nation is like one big happy family across the entire country, and the sense of fraternity here is very common, and squarely belongs to their unique notions of being happy.

Cultural tours to this nation can either be offered by travel agencies or national exchanges. There are also specific tours for educational purposes, and this is no longer a remote location because it has good facilities for aircraft. This might be Yeti country, but people can search for it with enough comfort and supplies.

People trek through the most exciting mountain passes here, but these are all checked for safety regularly by government and the most experienced guides who know the terrain. Laws are protective of nature, while conservation is an element that is also a religious one. While wood is still used, people will use this more efficiently, long practice has also created a way to preserve nature.

Mostly, this has something to do with the wisdom that has been handed down through the many types of government that have been operating here. Mostly, it has been ruled by kings, and today it is a constitutional monarchy. There have not been too much internal strife here, and mostly peace and happiness reign over the land.
