Bhutan


The two Sangay's who will be our guide and driver for the next 10 days


Bhutan is a Constitutional Monarchy as of 1998. The change was made by the  4th King before he abdicated the throne. After 35 years he was ready to retire and felt his son was ready to be coronated. The Bhutanese love their King and pictures of the current King and Queen are found everywhere inside and outside of buildings


Bhutan is 95 per cent Buddhist. Some of the monasteries date back to 1700's.



Cell phones and internet access are available and used by all including monks

 
The national animal is called the Takin. It has a head like a goat and the body of a yak
