Tour Description

Bhutan’s developmental philosophy and homespun concept of Gross National Happiness, as a developmental goal rather than GNP, has become a rave globally. The tiny nation is trying to convince the world that the ultimate goal of all progress is happiness, rather than just material progress. The secret lies in effecting a balanced approach. The package allows visitors to intermingle with and understand the daily lives of common Bhutanese people, and to interact with proponents and scholars of GNH for a better understanding and assimilation of the concept and its practice in the Bhutanese dimension.

Attractions
