Bhutan
Bhutan is the last great Himalayan Kingdom, a land of mystery and magic. Where a traditional Buddhist culture carefully adapts to the world around it. During divinations, monks check their phones and giant protective penises are painted on the front doors of many homes. You will find that the Bhutanese are well-educated, have a good sense of humor, and know a lot about what's going on in the world. It's the mix of old and new that makes Bhutan so interesting.
