Bhutan is basically the last "Buddhist Kingdom" left. Right now you should basically be thinking Seven Years in Tibet. It is next to Nepal and close to Tibet. This is my next dream vacation spot. There is difficulty with travelling in Bhutan that makes it all the more unattainable and desireable. There is no way to make a cheap easy trip, as all visitors can only enter the country with a tour company. The Bhutanese government is afraid of losing their unique Buddhist culture that has lasted for centuries, so they strictly monitor all visitors to the country and their actions. But, really, could a country be any more amazing?
Monasteries that are built into the steep cliffs of the Himalayas...
Mystical water gardens that are overflowing with vegetation...
Colorful and magical ceremonies that visitors are invited to watch. Really, this is currently on the top of my list for places that I need to visit. Sigh...maybe someday.
