The Bhutanese Way of Life
One of the most fascinating aspects of Bhutan is its unique approach to measuring national progress. Instead of relying solely on economic indicators, Bhutan uses Gross National Happiness (GNH) as a guiding principle. This holistic concept encompasses nine domains, including psychological well-being, health, education, and cultural diversity. During your Bhutan Odyssey, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with the locals and gain insight into how Bhutanese society values these aspects of life.
