This historic Buddhist monastery, perched dramatically on a cliffside in the upper Paro Valley, sits 3,000 metres above sea level and is accessible only via a three-hour hike through the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stop at Taktsang Cafeteria, located halfway up the hike, for a bite to eat and to catch a glimpse of the monastery above. As you continue towards the sacred building, the views of the temples and the surrounding wilderness only become more impressive \u2013 don\u2019t forget your camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note that to enter the monastery you will need to book an official tour and guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The national dish is a delicious stew of chilli and cheese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheese lovers (aren\u2019t we all) will find paradise in Bhutan. The national dish, <em>ema datshi<\/em>, is a spicy stew made of fresh or dried chillies and naturally fermented Bhutanese cheese. You\u2019ll likely be served the dish with most meals during your stay, with varying degrees of spice, alongside other popular dishes like <em>kewa datshi<\/em> (potatoes and cheese) and <em>shamu datshi<\/em> (mushrooms and cheese). Other common Bhutanese dishes include <em>sikam paa<\/em> (dried pork belly fried with chilli and radish), <em>jasha maroo<\/em> (spicy chicken stew) and <em>puta <\/em>(stir-fried buckwheat noodles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. It\u2019s more than 70 percent forest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bhutan is one of the world\u2019s most heavily forested nations, with approximately 72% of its land covered by a blend of tropical, subtropical and alpine forests. The country\u2019s constitution mandates that at least 60% of its landscape remains forested, a testament to Bhutan\u2019s commitment to environmental preservation. This law not only ensures the country remains as jaw-droppingly beautiful as possible but has cemented Bhutan\u2019s status as one of the world\u2019s only carbon-negative nations (alongside Panama and Suriname).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Traditional cultural customs remain largely intact and untouched<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/search?destinationName=Bhutan&amp;destinationId=le_f56de5ef149cf0aedcc8f4797031e229&amp;adults=2&amp;children=none\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Dochula-Festival-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Dochula Festival, one of the best things to see on a bucket-list tour of Bhutan - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-31002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Dochula-Festival-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Dochula-Festival-350x233.png 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Dochula-Festival-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Dochula-Festival.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nestled in the secluded heights of the Himalayas, Bhutan\u2019s culture has remained relatively unchanged for centuries, with the country only opening to tourism in the 1970s. The distinctive national dress is worn proudly by men and women; ancient arts like weaving are still practised; and new buildings are crafted in the traditional architectural style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bhutan is also a deeply spiritual place where Buddhism permeates almost every aspect of life \u2013 from values and customs to cultural celebrations and art. While visiting monasteries, historic <em>dzongs <\/em>and sacred <em>stupas <\/em>(dome-shaped shrines) offers an insight into this deep-rooted spirituality, the best way to really experience the Buddhist faith is by attending one of the country\u2019s many vibrant festivals. From Thimphu Tschechu \u2013 the annual national festival \u2013 to the Haa Summer Festival, these events offer a first-hand glimpse into the country\u2019s culture and spirituality through music, dance and food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. It\u2019s one of the happiest countries on earth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gross national Happiness, established by King Jigme Singye Wangchuck in the mid-1970s, is a concept that prioritises wellbeing over purely economic growth, leading to the introduction of policies like free primary and secondary schooling, improved healthcare access and language preservation. The philosophy is reflected in the Bhutanese people\u2019s warm hospitality and strong sense of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five things you didn\u2019t know about Bhutan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The national sport is archery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s known as the \u2018Land of the Thunder Dragon\u2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The national animal is the <em>takin<\/em>, a goat-cow hybrid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are no traffic lights in the entire country<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s a democratic constitutional monarchy with both a king and a prime minister<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover Tours<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Discover Tours\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_tour-7f7bd8d1-159f-4deb-a9c0-04c5fe7381b8\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_tour cacheid_b114761624421401194dfce6ccb33631\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/tour\/tour-7f7bd8d1-159f-4deb-a9c0-04c5fe7381b8\/limited-offer-9d-india-golden-triangle-private-oberoi-tour-with-bonus-experiences-2026-base\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"tour carousel LuxPlus \" data-name=\"Limited Time Offer: 9-Day Oberoi India Private Tour with A$1,000 of BONUS Experiences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/0dj76n9uqiv9ul4xt86scb\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/0dj76n9uqiv9ul4xt86scb 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/0dj76n9uqiv9ul4xt86scb 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/0dj76n9uqiv9ul4xt86scb 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/0dj76n9uqiv9ul4xt86scb 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/0dj76n9uqiv9ul4xt86scb 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"Limited Time Offer: 9-Day Oberoi India Private Tour with A$1,000 of BONUS Experiences by \" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><span class=\"new\">Offer ends in 1 day<\/span><\/div><div class=\"location\"><span>India<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Limited Time Offer: 9-Day Oberoi India Private Tour with A$1,000 of BONUS Experiences<\/div><div class=\"meta\">9 days, Tour<\/div><div class=\"deal_info\"><div class=\"nights\">9 days from<\/div><div class=\"range luxplus\"><span class=\"currency\">US<\/span><span class=\"price\">$3,455<\/span><span class=\"with_luxplus\">\/person with <em><\/em><\/span><\/div><div class=\"range range_small\"><span class=\"label\">Non-member<\/span><span class=\"currency\">US<\/span><span class=\"price\">$3,599<\/span><\/div><div class=\"value_box\"><span class=\"value\">Valued up to US$4,746<\/span><span class=\"percentage\">-24%<\/span><\/div><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"offer_tour-d348b994-52e7-4368-8722-f4450be2c18e\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_tour cacheid_b114761624421401194dfce6ccb33631\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/tour\/tour-d348b994-52e7-4368-8722-f4450be2c18e\/lapland-finland-norway-14d-winter-tour-and-fjord-cruise-base\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"tour carousel LuxPlus \" data-name=\"Deluxe 14-Day Finland &#038;
