Leaving Denver, CO March 20, 2013. Will arrive in Bhutan via Tokyo and Bangkok on March 23.
This has been a very long time coming. I have been intrigued by this beautiful little country tucked away in the Himalayas between China and India for over 10 years. The more I read about it, the more I wished to visit. The idea of being in a country that values GNH ( gross national happiness) more than GNP, is refreshing indeed. Bhutan is a Buddhist Kingdom, ruled by a much beloved young ruler who has the very tricky task of balancing maintaining their very rich culture while introducing his people to technology and the outside world.
I'm ready to go!
