‘Carbon NegativeHappiness Positive’, is something that appends a simple yet mesmerising experience while in Bhutan. The salubrious climate, mellow townhouses, and indigenous spaces interjected with the majestic monasteries best illustrate this peaceful and tranquil country.
While contemplating through the porthole window of the Druk Flight, I was excited to explore the country of Bhutan, which is said to embrace global development along with its Buddhist tradition and culture. The ‘Land of the Thunder Dragon’ possesses many varied landscapes, and it’s a country where the rice is red and where chillies are the main ingredient of the local people. Essentially a Buddhist land, Bhutan is not frozen in time, and it’s this blending of ancient and modern that makes it endlessly enchanting.
The walk through the traditionally embellished Paro airport was suggestive of the unique cultural realm I was entering. I sensed an air of peace and tranquility as if I’d gone back into time, far from the hectic polluted urban city I’d left behind.
On arriving in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, one inevitably passes through the wonderful market street. The delicate amalgamation of old and new buildings bonded by traditional elements gives it a harmonious unity, one that’s very different from European streets. In this unity, there is diversity of colour, scale and an oriental quality. While the western world emphasises system and dissolves the individual, here, the individual has a unique expression, evident even in their dresses - the ‘kira’ for women and ‘gho’ for men.
