Bhutan Reveals

The End Of The Bhutan Series On Facebook 🇧🇹

After traveling to over 40 countries, I got used to experiencing different sides of the world, learning about cultures and traditions, and seeing extremes that become normal after a while. Since I have been to Afghanistan, I have not experienced the "wow" effect since last year. But this has changed with my short visit to the Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan.

Bhutan is the country that I believe is the most authentic in the world. It is probably the only country prioritizing "High Value, Low Volume" tourism. "High Value" relates to targeting mindful and responsible visitors, ensuring high revenue per visitor, and supporting a quality tourism infrastructure. Bhutan aims to avoid hyper-tourism and its damaging effect on the environment. The country currently allows only 300,000 visitors per year, which was much less in the past years.

After stepping into Bhutan, let me say I have been officially in every South Asian country. There are so many unique things about Bhutan that are very surprising to the rest of the world:

1. "Bhutan" translates to "Land of the Thunder Dragon."
2. Thimpu is one of only two capital cities in Asia without a single traffic light. (The other is Pyongyang, North Korea.)
3. Bhutan is one of the last countries to introduce television to its people. The government lifted a TV and Internet ban only 25 years ago.
4. National dress is compulsory for Bhutanese citizens.
5. Bhutan has never been conquered.
6. Bhutanese people love chillies.
7. Mountaineering is now banned, as the highest peaks are considered sacred.
8. All tourists must pay a 200 USD fee per day just to be in the country.
9. Bhutan is the ONLY carbon-negative country in the world.
10. Bhutan is known for its unique Gross National Happiness (GNH) philosophy.

Thank you for the support! 🙏🏽❤️

Against the Fury of the Flood: Two Brothers Emerge as Heroes_

In the face of raging floodwaters, two brothers stood tall, their bravery and quick thinking saving their family and strangers from the jaws of disaster.

Prakash Sewa and Lakash Darjee, two siblings from Dechencholing, found themselves in the midst of a nightmare as their home was inundated by the torrential flood. But instead of panicking, they sprang into action, their instincts guiding them to rescue those around them.

With the floodwaters rising by the minute, the brothers fought against the clock to save their family of seven, including three children and their wives. And in a stunning display of selflessness, they also pulled two strangers to safety, who were drinking at a nearby bar, oblivious to the danger lurking outside.

Though Prakash suffered a leg injury in the chaos, the brothers' heroics ensured that everyone was accounted for, their loved ones shaken but alive.

As the community rallies around the family, providing them with food, clothing, and support, the brothers' tale of courage has inspired many, earning them the title of heroes in the eyes of those who witnessed their bravery.

In the realm of the majestic Himalayas, a monarch reigns with a heart of gold, shattering the shackles of conventional royalty. The King of Bhutan, a paragon of humility, traverses the winding paths, bearing the weight of his own luggage, as he embarks on a odyssey of compassion, spanning over seven hours. His destination? The humble abodes of his beloved subjects, where he bestows upon them the gift of free land, a testament to his unwavering dedication to their welfare.

In this mystical land, the King becomes a messenger of hope, a harbinger of joy, as he personally delivers the deepest desires of his people to their doorsteps. This is the essence of Bhutan, the last Shangri-la, a haven of serenity, where the ruler's selflessness is a beacon of inspiration, illuminating the path to a utopian existence.

Let us pay homage to this visionary leader, whose magnanimity has etched an indelible mark on the fabric of humanity. May His Majesty extraordinary spirit continue to guide us towards a world where compassion knows no bounds.

I'm enthusiastic to share this inspiring update from MLA Paul Lilburne about his meeting with our beloved King of Bhutan, His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck! As a proud citizen of Bhutan, I can attest that our King is a true hero - a down-to-earth, people's king who has captured the hearts of our nation. His humility, compassion, and dedication to the well-being of our people and the environment are qualities that make him an exceptional leader.

I'm deeply touched by the profound respect and affection with which MLA Paul Lilburne regards our King, evident in the photo of their meeting. The way he stands with humility and reverence, clearly in awe of His Majesty's presence, is a testament to the King's remarkable character and influence. We, the people of Bhutan, are truly grateful to see Mr. Paul showing such respect and love towards our King - it warms our hearts and strengthens our bond with the global community.

Here's what MLA Paul Lilburne shared about his meeting with the King:

"I have just returned from the Kingdom of Bhutan. I had an audience with the King of Bhutan, His Majesty The Druk Gyalpo Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. During our meeting we discussed the important concepts of democracy, unity and national development and trade. His Majesty detailed his vision and future plans, and he asked for my opinion regarding a range of topics. I advocated for the wonderful environmental and social elements of the Western Australian Carine District with His Majesty. It was my extreme honour to have such an audience with the King of Bhutan."

I'm so grateful for His Majesty's vision and guidance, which has shaped our country's path towards sustainable development and cultural preservation. His commitment to Gross National Happiness (GNH) is a beacon of hope for a better world. I'm blessed and honored to call him my King and my living god on earth!

Thank you, Mr. Paul, for your kindness and respect towards our beloved monarch. "

"To the concerned authorities, government, and community,

I am writing to demand justice for Sumitra Chhetri, an innocent girl who lost her life due to senseless violence. The recent confession of the murderer, who committed the heinous crime under the influence of drugs and alcohol, is a stark reminder of the need for accountability and action.

We, the community, urge the government and authorities to:

1. Ensure the perpetrator is brought to justice and held accountable for their actions.
2. Take concrete steps to address the root causes of such crimes, including substance abuse and violence.
3. Implement measures to ensure the safety and protection of our citizens, especially vulnerable groups like women and children.

We demand justice for Sumitra Chhetri and urge the government to take necessary actions to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
