Bhutan is a somewhat mysterious country, appearing to be from an alternate universe. Many people find it enchanting and straight out of a fairytale. This fascinating kingdom holds a great many surprises that you probably won't know until you go.
Bhutanese manners dictate that you are to refuse food whenever it’s offered to you. The tradition is to say the words “meshu meshu” and cover your mouth with your hands. You can give in, though, after two or three offers.
Bhutanese people know that unrestricted tourism can affect their unique landscape and culture, so they take a sustainable approach to tourism development. Perhaps, the concept of ‘happiness’ in the Kingdom is very much derived from the contentment that Bhutanese feel about their lives.
