Tucked between India and Tibet, Bhutan is a small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan measures progress not by GDP but by Gross National Happiness. Blending economic growth with cultural and spiritual well-being. Its lush valleys and towering peaks shelter centuries-old monasteries, prayer flags, and dzongs (fortresses) that still anchor daily life. The country has never been colonized, preserving a deeply Buddhist identity, and remains one of the world’s only carbon-negative nations, with forests covering more than 70% of its land. Here modernity and tradition coexist and the sacred still shapes the everyday.
