Ever since, Bhutan has welcomed thousands of visitors. One would think that years of development have eroded the beauty of this country, which was referred in the olden days as the " The Lotus Garden of the Gods". All this progress has come in tandem with the preservation and promotion of the country's cultural heritage.
he Government pursues an active policy of preserving the numerous temples, monasteries and fortresses that dot the countryside. The monastic schools and meditation centers located across the kingdom are home to thousand of monks and priests who cater to the spiritual needs of the Bhutanese people. The weavings and a vast range of handicrafts of Bhutan are known for their beauty and make perfect gifts. |
