Long shut off from the rest of the world, Bhutan has retained a culture and lifestyle that revolves around the sacred. Hundreds of monks live out their reverence in glorious monasteries, and nuns devote their lives to charity. With a capital city that forbids foreign architecture, the traditions of Bhutan are painted on every facade. Trouping through the mountains reveals mystical views of holy peaks and passes. It’s no wonder these mountain ranges are said to house deities within.
