Discovering Bhutan: A Journey of Culture, Craft and Calm
Just before the year closed I explored Bhutan, a land of serene valleys, misty mountains and vibrant culture. I visited skilled artisans creating intricate weavings, carvings, embroidery and paintings that have been passed down through generations. We also explored monasteries tucked into quiet valleys and hiked to the iconic Tigers Nest Monastery perched high on a cliff above the Paro Valley.
From the rolling hills and sparkling rivers to the sacred temples and remote villages, every corner of Bhutan felt alive with stories, skill and tradition. Each moment was filled with wonder, reflection and a sense of calm. Discover the beauty, craft and culture of Bhutan through this immersive journey.
