Bhutan
Bhutan has for centuries been closed to outsiders and myths have grown strong and more mysterious. A trip to Bhutan is really something for those who want to experience something unique that not many Westerners have been through. According to ancient traditions employees of the state still have to wear traditional costumes – men a so called a gho and women a kira.
