Despite today's availability of machine-made fabrics and ready-to-wear clothing, Bhutan's textiles are firmly in vogue. "Weaving is not declining [in popularity]," says the RTA's Ugyen Tenzin. "People have realised the importance of our textiles. There are so many young people who are taking up weaving very seriously. Natural dyeing is now becoming a trend; practitioners realise that they can make a good income from the weaving business. So they take it very seriously. Young people are just as interested in the textile business as the elders were."

We are caretakers of a precious place and irreplaceable culture. Its safekeeping is our responsibility to future generations. It requires an investment, yet we believe this is a small price to pay for preserving what is priceless.

Whether you are visiting Bhutan for business or simply seeking a peaceful vacation, Bhutan has something for everyone. If you want to experience the everyday lives of Bhutanese people, their religion, cultures, ceremonies and authentic food, staying in a local homestay with a Bhutanese family is the finest way to do so. While home stays may not offer facilities like hotels and resorts, you can join the daily rituals of Bhutanese people living in villages and participate in cultivation and harvesting alongside other farmers, pick seasonal fruits and vegetables, and eat authentic Bhutanese dishes unspoiled by restaurant recipes.

The Constitution of the Kingdom of Bhutan mandates the country to maintain 60% of its land under forest coverage for eternity. Today, about 72% of the country is under forest coverage, and 51% falls under protected areas covering more than half of the total area of the country. Bhutan is among the top biodiversity hotspots in the world and is blessed with diverse landscapes and topographical gradients which are home to a wide range of flora and fauna, truly making it a paradise for nature and wildlife lovers. Thanks to the unwavering commitment to conservation, the country is replete with rare species of animals and birds.

Splashed across the exterior of a farmhouse is an image I never expected to see on public display – let alone in a Buddhist country. Sandwiched between a crouching tiger and a leaping dragon, an enormous phallus and its accoutrements squats below a wooden lattice window frame. Cartoonish in na...

26 December 2022:

His Majesty the King graced the inauguration of the Kurizam-Gyalposhing Highway, built under the Desuung National Service Road Project. The inauguration ceremony was presided over by His Holiness the Je Khenpo.

The road was widened and improved to a higher standard with the aim to pilot quality road construction, develop best practices that can be disseminated in the industry and to develop a critical mass of the necessary skills, processes and practices in this critical area of nation building.

This pioneering road project was undertaken by De-Suung in partnership with the Ministry of Works and Human Settlements following the highly successful water projects implemented by De-Suups across 20 Dzongkhags over the past years.

The project was designed to build capabilities of the De-Suups in all aspects of road construction so that they can become skilled workers, competent supervisors, effective managers and capable contractors in the future.

Towards that end, the project recruited a road designer, a material engineer and a project manager from a well reputed Japanese company to train the De-Suups and oversee the project. The objective of the project was to benchmark the quality of Bhutanese road construction to leading international standards with adequately designed road geometry, slope protection works, drainages, cross drainages, and proper road signs. It was also to sensitize and impart the best work culture, ethics and professionalism to our youth.

The 7.3 km road was built in exactly one year, starting from 17th December 2021. A total amount of Nu. 238 million was spent including procurement of specialized machines, hiring of international experts, and other trainings and logistics. A total of 167 De-Suups were engaged in the project. Six of them are now trained as skilled operators in specialized machines, 3 in surveying and 13 as skilled construction workers. All of them are equipped to assist and understand general construction practices.

While in Gyalpozhing, His Majesty also visited the Bongderma Gyalsung Academy Site and granted an Audience to the people working there.

The year is coming to an end. 2022 has been a significant transformative year for all Bhutanese, especially for the tourism sector. This year we reopened to tourism after almost two and half years of closed borders. Simultaneously, Bhutan launched a new brand identity that encapsulates the nation’s optimism for a better future while still being rooted in and guided by our culture, tradition, history and values.
