Climate change: Beautiful Bhutan threatened

Nature reporter Anjali Nayar hiked for 21 days in Northern Bhutan to find out how this tiny Himalayan nation is dealing with rapidly melting glaciers. Read Anjali's full report here

Dzongs and Mountains

Oh, Dzongs (fortresses) with mountains in the background are beautiful too. Just image google Bhutan and you will see what I mean. Dzongs.

Mountains. Beautiful mountains...and valleys too.

Well, Dzongs were build by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal. He was a Tibetan fugitive and a lama who founded Bhutan (Druk Yul - The Dragon Country) in the 17th century.

Where is Bhutan?

Meeting people from all over the world is a joy.

The first thing they ask me is, 'um, where are you from?'

Bhutan.

Bhutan? Where's it?

Himalayas.

Lot of tourists?

A few...

What do you have?

Well, if you think about it, we have nothing, just Buddhist festivals and lots of mountains - beautiful mountains - and fresh air. Clear blue sky. Lots of stars at night that you may actually feel you can touch them!

Nothing?

Basically...

But why do people go there?

Some people have everything that they want to experience nothing...

Hahaha...

Hahaha...Seriously, we have one of the toughest and best trekking routes in the world and rich culture.

Some ask if we serve girls like some of our neighbours do and I say we don't.

Anyway, if you want to visit Bhutan, you will find some information here about how to get there.

In the meanwhile, if you need any information about Bhutan, please leave a comment or two...
