Bhutan is the hidden "Land of the Thunder Dragon" in the Himalayas, famous for its total national happiness. Six days and five nights, between temples and valleys, you can understand its calm and leisure.
Tiger's Den is a symbol of Bhutan, perched on a 900-meter-high cliff, where Guru Padmasambhava is said to have meditated. After about three hours of hiking up the mountain, at the turn of the ridge, the temple seems to rise from the clouds.
The capital, Thimphu, has no traffic lights, and the streets and alleys are quiet. Tashi Choezong is the religious and administrative center, with golden roofs and white walls standing solemnly in the valley.
Punaka's Punakha Dzong is built at the confluence of two rivers, and in spring, when the jacarandas bloom, it looks dreamlike and enchanting. This "palace-like fortress" is Bhutan's most beautiful Dzongbao.
Along the way, prayer wheels, prayer flags, and locals dressed in traditional Chinese attire write happiness into everyday life. Bhutan's limitation of visitor numbers—slow and pure—are the precious things it deliberately preserves.
Bhutan's blessing is to give up development for happiness. When you breathe under the Tiger's Den Temple but remain calm, you will understand the country's proudest slogan.
