Bhutan’s long standing policy of isolationism has preserved traditional lifestyles and cultures in this part of the Himalayas. Something must be different in a country that aims to put “Happiness” ahead of “Capitalism”, a long term goal of policy makers. The policy is more than just words,...

Trekking in Bhutan is quite challenging and it is for real adventure seekers. The hill side tends to be almost vertical, the climate is windier, damper and colder, and the daily altitude gain is more than in any other Himalayan nation. Hidden in the folds of the Himalayas, Bhutan is a beautiful country, comprising rolling hills, dense forests, and deep valleys steeped in Buddhist tradition and culture. With the highest unclimbed mountain massif in the world – Gangkar Punsum (7,541 m) and several other climbed and unclimbed peaks of more than 7,000 m high, its offers beautiful but overwhelming views of the Himalayas.

To enjoy the beautiful landscape, its flora and fauna, there is no better way than trekking in Bhutan. Bhutanese have wondered all over their country on foot for centuries carving out treks through valleys and passes. Each Bhutan trek has its own special features. Bhutan treks do not require any special skill. The trails are generally in good condition. Fit and experienced walkers would have no difficulty navigating them, although natural obstacles such as snowfall or landslides could require a change of plans. For the less experience trekkers, there are several trails like DrukPath trek, Bumthang culture trek, Samtengang trek, Merak and Sakteng community trek, and Nabjikorphu community trek, and many more. Bhutan trekking started in 1978. Around 1000 tourists a year visit Bhutan for trekking, and most of them opt for Jomolhari Yaksa trek and Jomolhari Round trek, easy accessible from the north of Paro. However, the Bhutan trek comprises long days with several ascents and descents each day. The valleys are steeper here than in other Himalayan destinations.

You’ve probably heard about Bhutan. That mysterious landlocked region between India and China that has been dubbed the “Happiest Place on Earth”. In fact, it has been decades since the fourth king of Bhutan came up with the notion that the kingdom should benchmark its progress and development ...

Come to the think of it, Disney's claim to being The Magic Kingdom also gets a run for its money from Bhutan. With its mist-shrouded mountains, ubiquitous monks and universal acceptance of reincarnation, there is a real sense of magic here.

Given levels of dissatisfaction with the performance of politicians in western democracies, what can we learn from a country that assesses its government policies based on the happiness of its people?

Of the many monasteries in Bhutan, the most famous will be Taktsang Goemba in Paro (Paro Taktsang). Also known as ‘Tiger’s Nest Monastery’, the monastery is built into the cliff of a mountain, and so it seems to be hanging precariously on the edge. The monastery is one of the must-visits in Bhutan, even if that means sore legs due to the sheer number of steps to climb in order to reach it.

These are new frontiers for solo travellers to explore.
