Introducing Bhutan
Bhutan is a land of about 700,000 people who believe that Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross National Product. Bhutan is a country with a different face. And a different story to tell.
History of Bhutan
Bhutan’s prehistoric period, of which there is neither ethnic, paleobotanic, geographic, or physiographic record, fell roughly between 500 B.C. and A.D. 500.
The Chhoetse Penlop
As the sun rose, its brilliant rays lighting every nook and corner of the kingdom, thousands of people gathered in Trongsa to celebrate the investiture ceremony of His Royal Highness Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, Bhutan’s 16th Chhoetse Penlop.
