Cultural Tours And Why They Are Important

By Pamela Kelly


The people of a nation nicknamed the Land of the Thunder Dragon have taken a new view of nationhood today. It is not about pride of place or being stronger and richer than its neighbors, nor being culturally important. It is about a concept that has been newly enshrined in their constitution in 2008.

This concept that was turned into law was the pursuit of an entire nation for a thing called Gross National Happiness. Cultural tours in Bhutan have been enhanced by this, and traditionally it has always been one reason that tourists go to the country. It is a culturally and geographically unique one that has been founded on Buddhist principles.

This country has the Himalayan mountains surrounding it. And it has lots of forests, with cold weather, things that are conducive for people who want to meditate in the middle of breathtaking natural scenes. It is a nation developing but puts the happiness principle first, the ambience created thus being an amazing one for visitors.

This country is a very enlightened one, according to Buddhist tradition. Because the religion has been the only that has been in existence here for many centuries, and since the nation was once the most remote, it has developed a unique ideology here. The concept of GNH is part of this, and people here have always been happy.

The country is an enlightened one, and follows all the Buddhist principles. This is the religion that has founded the state and made it a peaceful for many centuries, and while its remote location may have been a factor, the religion has made its mark here. A concept like happiness is relevant to this, since it is prime precept for practicing Buddhists.

The people here are mostly doing agricultural work, some being half nomadic gatherers or shepherds. But they typically range only in the country, and will be very familiar with its territory. The whole nation is of course a big family, happily sharing with each other, a common fraternity that is also a unique item in their being the happiest of peoples.

Cultural tours to this nation can either be offered by travel agencies or national exchanges. There are also specific tours for educational purposes, and this is no longer a remote location because it has good facilities for aircraft. This might be Yeti country, but people can search for it with enough comfort and supplies.

The trek here is one that can be very invigorating, and very scenic, and while there are lots of difficult passes, the government has helped to delineate those that can be taken by newbies. Most of the state is protected by law and therefore have good conservation rules. Even as wood is still an important fuel, the use of this is done very efficiently, with little environmental degradation.

The tradition here has been one where tradition principally rules, no matter the changes of forms of government that had been done. Many monarchs have reigned here, and nowadays the country is run by constitutional monarchy. Rare were the times of internal problems that have gone on, because people here like to preserve the peace and be happy.
