In Bhutan, I could enjoy not only their culture, but the nature. I went there in the late autumn. So I felt somewhat cold. Clear air and good weather made me enjoyed panoramic view. Trees and grass looked lively and the scenery from the top of a mountain was spectacular.
We encountered a huge truck on the ridge. I felt fear, because I couldn’t have confidence whether we could pass the roaming monster. Thanks to a driver with good driving technique, we escaped death. I still remember that the noise that could shake the whole country.
I had a chance to visit local house. Most of the rooms are simple. But a room having Buddhist altar was quite a different with others; fully decorated and so colorful. Host family offered butter tea and explain the structure of the house. It is a creature with excellent wisdom, in order to survive under severer climate in winter.
The architecture in the city is more modernized. But there’re no glass buildings. (I sometimes feel them too simple rather than fashionable. ) The houses with pure color suits Bhutanese nature and kind people’s mind, I think.
Here is another virtual tour of Bhutan.
