The Last Authentic Travel Experience on Earth? (Bhutan: Meditating with Monks & Indigenous Villages)

Video Description

Sitting on the western side of the Himalayas, Bhutan is a Buddhist Kingdom that famously prioritises the happiness of its citizens over national wealth. It is also famous for prioritising its citizens' happiness over national wealth (GDP). We were lucky enough to be invited to explore this unique country steeped in history and culture, where a traditional way of life reigns supreme and we were given access to film places cameras have never been before. Join us as we explore a remote indigenous mountain village, meditate with monks, and are welcomed into the homes of locals. We really hope you enjoy watching - if you do, please give it a thumbs up & subscribe, it means YouTube is more likely to suggest our films to others and help our channel grow. A big thanks to our guide Pelden, who has 30 years of experience guiding tours in Bhutan. This means that Pelden knows practically everyone in Bhutan and can tailor your dream, authentic Bhutan experience!
