"Castles in the Air: Experiences and Journeys in Unknown Bhutan"

17th November 2014:

Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen graced National Geographic Society's celebration of 100 years of coverage of Bhutan by the National Geographic magazine.

Addressing the gathering, Her Majesty said that the essence of what was observed of Bhutan by the magazine a hundred years ago still remains.

"In 1914, John Claude White’s fluent observations of our country, detailed in the April issue of the National Geographic Magazine, unveiled the intricacies of our unfamiliar and mysterious land and people to the rest of the world," Her Majesty said. "Bhutan has, across the century, made unique progress as a Nation. We have continually fortified the values of our traditions and cultural heritage."

"Today, we move forward on the philosophy of Gross National Happiness and strive for sustainable development. We are bound by duty to ensure the resilience of our cultural values and our pristine natural environment, which remains indispensible in our pursuit of collective happiness. In Bhutan, we are always guided by our past; our rich traditions and culture, so fundamentally important for our future, binds us across time and generations."

Her Majesty commended the National Geographic society for their noble efforts, since its inception in1888, to explore and bring to light the human and physical geography of our world.

The National Geographic magazine in 1914 published an article in its April edition, written by John Claude White, a political officer of British-India stationed in Sikkim. Accompanied by fabulous images, the article, titled "Castles in the Air: Experiences and Journeys in Unknown Bhutan" documented White's experiences in Bhutan, which he visited between 1905 to 1907. The coverage was historically significant, as it provided insights into Bhutan from a foreign perspective, and for the first time, presented images of a largely unknown Bhutan to the western world.

In this photograph, Mr. Gary Knell, President and CEO of National Geographic Society presents Her Majesty The Queen with a copy of an image of Punakha Dzong taken by John Claude White during an expedition to Bhutan in 1907, that was originally published in National Geographic Magazine in 1914.

There are a lot of good reasons why someone might visit the Kingdom of Bhutan - but now there are more than ever.

29/10/2014

Tightly squeezed in between India and Tibet, the Kingdom of Bhutan is one of the least visited and most isolated places in the world. The “happiest nation in Asia”, according to Businessweek, has only allowed television, Internet and Western-style clothing to come into the country in 1999 and transitioned to democracy in 2004.

Amazing scenery of the Buddhist ‘Shangri-La’ is now available on Google’s Street View.

Best For: The hardest of hard cores

Distance: Over 200 miles, usually a 25-day trip. By law you must travel with a guided tour company in Bhutan.

The Snowman is quite simply the most difficult long walk on the planet. Though it covers just over 200 miles, much of the route is higher than the highest points in the continental United States, crossing 11 passes over 16,000 feet and topping out at 17,388 feet on Rinchen Zoe La Pass. At that elevation weather is unpredictable and altitude sickness a real concern. Barely half of the people who start the Snowman end up finishing. Plus, the trek is in Bhutan, a constitutional monarchy that carefully regulates tourists to keep the country timelessly unspoiled but tough to navigate and lacking many technological advances.
