Kingdom of Bhutan

Timpu, Butan

Bhutan is a tiny and remote kingdom nestling in the Himalayas between its powerful neighbours, India and China. The meaning of its name is  “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, where the dragon symbolizes  enlightenment and the guardianship of Buddhist teachings.  Since the country prioritizes the health of Bhutanese citizens, the production and sale of tobacco products are illegal. Wildlife conservation is highly important, so hunting and fishing are also illegal, except for catch and release. The protection of Bhutan’s cultural identity is also prioritized, so the national dress of the knee-length wrap-around “gho” for men and the ankle-length dress known as the “kira” for women is compulsory.
