Bhutan is a Himalayan kingdom that had remained aloof from the contacts with the external world for a long time. As a result, the traditions and customs of the country are pure and unblemished from external influences. Except people from the adjoining countries of India and Bangladesh tourists from other parts of the world have to pay a daily tariff that restricts overcrowding by a large number of tourists.

1. Visiting Bhutan For 10 Reasons That
Make It Enjoyable
Bhutan is a Himalayan kingdom that had remained aloof from the contacts with the external
world for a long time. As a result, the traditions and customs of the country are pure and
unblemished from external influences. Except people from the adjoining countries of India and
Bangladesh tourists from other parts of the world have to pay a daily tariff that restricts
overcrowding by a large number of tourists. Televisions, mobiles, and the Internet is a recent
phenomenon in the country and are not available in most parts of the country providing a
peace and respite from the upheavals occurring daily in the outer world.
Sighting the yeti
It is said to be a country that is home to the Yeti. The people claim to have seen the yeti some
time or other and if you are fortunate enough you might also get a glimpse of the snow being.
The country is also the home to the Takin, which is the national animal that looks half cow and
half goat. It is said that a religious madman was ordered to produce a miracle in order to prove
himself. The divine being had eaten a whole cow and a whole goat and put the goats head on
what remained of the cow’s body. The creature looking partially like a goat and partially like
cow came alive and walked away.

2. Traditions and customs
The main religion of the country is Buddhism, which influences every aspect of daily life.
Traditions and customs are followed strictly by all the people, and even the dress code is strictly
enforced and followed. The simple life of the people even in the cities encountered during Trips
to Bhutan Tours provides a peace and tranquility that cannot be found anywhere else. The
warmth and hospitality shown to the visitors by the local people is something to be marveled
about. The local food comprising mainly of cheese and chilies is very delicious though the
combination is a bit unusual.
Festivals and events
Festivals and religious events make up a part of the tradition and culture of the country. The
Tshechu festivals held in the various temples, monasteries and dzongs every year are the
biggest attraction in the country. Hundreds of people gather at the monasteries and watch the
dances performed by people dressed in brilliant costumes and colorful masks. Participating in
these festivals can provide lasting memories. The King of this kingdom is looked upon as God
and every year his birthday is celebrated with pomp and glory. The sight of the celebrations can
fill the senses with an ethereal feeling of joy and fulfillment.

3. Adventure for tourists
The country provides a large number of trekking and hiking expeditions to the tourists who are
interested in them. The mountains and valleys abound with natural surroundings, flora, and
fauna. Walking through these areas can bring you closer to nature and restrooms with modern
facilities will help you relax after a day’s trek through the woods. Paragliding, rafting, kayaking,
are some of the other sports that you can enjoy here. Cycling expeditions during Trips to
Bhutan Tours are also conducted which lets you mix with the people on the way to your
destinations miles away. You can go for rock climbing expeditions, but most of the unclimbed
mountain peaks are out of bounds because of religious beliefs.
