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.

The scarf is definitely not made in Bhutan . These are imported from India, Sri Lanka or from Thailand …As you said these scarfs have Mughal designs …..shouldn’t happened that way!!!

English is kind of second language. All schools across Bhutan is English medium schools 🏫.
Wow! Davud the ending was perfect! Even though you didn't find a realistic type painting the artist was incredible and so humble. His hands are golden! Greetings from FL, USA.
The piece of art you bought at the end was really nice, and he gave a great explanation
At last you buy abstract art which is the unique one from the artist and the meaning of it every thing have came into the world with some reason lovely 😍 Davud you can find landscape painting everywhere but those are all unique
Hi Davud, I love your Bhutan vlogs. You got better painting than realistic painting you were after. The art piece was golden because everytime you see it, it should remind you the basic goodness or purity in you despite all kinds of cloud like emotions (positive and negative) that veil you as a human. This is what Buddhists call Buddha (that face in the art piece). This is what Buddhists try to uncover through meditation. Good job!
Davud sir, you are ambassador of my country Bhutan to outside world!! Thanks for showing Bhutan to the outside world!

Thank you for the videos about Bhutan. The country is a new discovery for me. Your videos make me want to visit Bhutan
Mr Davud is a very knowledgeful ,highly educated , dignified & peaceful person. I surprised to watch the streets & buildings of this town on the foot of hills. Roads are very neet. There are line drawn even in inside lanes also.
I'm in shock, You didn't stop to eat anything ! A very nice video Davud. Yes, I am enjoying the Bhutan series. Like so many other countries that you visit, life is so very different than the one here in Wales and most European countries. It's what makes your videos so fascinating and interesting to watch. Keep living the dream.
Bhutan is amazing place and i really like their culture

For realistic painting I recommend you go to VAST Bhutan in Thimphu which is right above Kaja Throm (where you went to shop veggies last time) 😋

19:30 Southern Bhutanese are ethnically Nepalese who are also called Lhotshampa. So she isn't Indian, but Nepalese stock.

Mr. Davud, in all your videos and places you posted, this is the best! May I ask what Airline goes to Bhutan? My son is a Pilot in the U.S. MARINE and he’s getting out on June this year and he’s going for Commercial Airline…He said he’s been communicating with Delta and United Airlines. I hope one of this Airlines goes there!

looks like it is your last day in Bhutan......... tell your friends to visit Bhutan again.
Those gifts are really expensive, I didn't notice much tourists and the large amounts the store owners are asking,got me thinking the villagers got to have good paying jobs in order to make a purchase in those stores.
love you all and love you davud sir from nepal
Love from Nagaland❤
Love from nep🇳🇵....bhutan is really beautiful 🇧🇹
Hello Davud. I am not sure if you are still in Bhutan but if you are looking for a realistic contemporary painting, you should visit VAST BHUTAN in Thimphu. That is a perfect place for visual arts. Thanks
Wow❤
Hello from SOUTH AFRICA ❤❤❤❤❤
Should check the white lotus gallery in paro town
Very nice sir g
Always waiting for ur vlogs..from India..
Cuntry is very beautiful

There are 3 major ethnicities in Bhutan: 1. Ngalop 2. Nepali 3. Sharchop Ngalop and Sharchop have outright mongoloid features.. Whilst Nepalese can have either mongoloid or aryan faces. Half of Nepalis are mongoloid like guide Leela Darlami Magar, and the other half are aryan - like the one at the shop in this video.
Thanks for the experience! You need to learn how to ask a question. " I can go ? " Or. " Can I go ? " Your English is really good , do not ruin it x
Thank you sir, i am from assam
You will find realistic painting in Thimphu….karma Arts and crafts…..love from Bhutan
