Bhutan

Maybe some of you haven't know Bhutan very well. So do I. This is my first time went to Bhutan. So, I'm gonna share a bit my experience there. Bhutan is a small comfortable and peaceful country as it remains one of the safest countries in the world,in the Himalayas between Tibet and India.Besides the stunning natural scenery, the enduring image of the country for most travelers is the strong sense of culture and tradition that binds the kingdom and clearly distinguishes it from its larger neighbors. I heard that due to its pristine environment and harmonious society, the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan is often termed as "The Last Shangrila".The majority of tourists do "cultural tours" where they visit important destinations in a vehicle. This allows maximum coverage of the country within a limited period of time. Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Wangdue, and Jakar are popular destinations.The most challengingtravel place in there is "Snowman Trek with Gangkar Puensum" due to distance, altitude, weather conditions and remoteness. There are four national parks that you can visit such as Jigme Dorji National Park, Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, Royal Manas National Park, Thrumshingla National Park. Or if you are a wild life lover, enjoy going to Bomdeling Wildlife Sanctuary, Khaling Wildlife Sanctuary, Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary, Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary, Toorsa Strict Nature Reserve.
But you gotta remember, permits are required to visit all monasteries, dzongs and sacred sites deemed of special significance. These permits are issued by the Cultural Affairs Office in Thimphu.Don't forget to bring home popular gift from Bhutan such as Woven cloth, Yethra(A brightly colored woven material made from wool and dyed with natural colors), Dappa(Hand made wooden bowls) and Bangchung(Small bamboo woven baskets with two tightly fitting halves).
