Bhutan: Buddhism butter tea and the secrets of a country with national happiness


Listen Later

Bhutan is a country that's been largely unspoiled by tourism, which is why it's high on our list of must-visit suggestions. 

During this conversation with Vivek, you'll hear all about His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck, and how he's the inspiration for the way Bhutan is. It's written into law that the country has to do everything possible to make its people happy. You'll learn all about the Gross National Happiness measure and its four parameters of happiness. 

If you're passionate about sustainability you'll definitely be fascinated to hear about all the things the country is doing to protect its nature.

Foodies will definitely be listening closely, with a starring role from Ema Datshi and butter tea. 

And that's not to mention the monks, meditation, hot stone baths, archery, and the unique types of accommodation on offer.

We don't doubt that once you've listened to this wonderful journey through the delights of Bhutan, you'll want to book your stay in one of the boutique hotels and get prepared for your hot stone bath. 

When that happens, you can get in touch directly with Lizzie, here.
