Often called the Land of the Thunder Dragon, Bhutan was secluded for much of its history. Its towering mountains and lush green valleys were virtually unvisited, evoking a sense of mystery and wonder.

Culture Smart! Bhutan will give you a deeper insight into the country's history, values, customs, and age-old traditions. It highlights changes in people's attitudes and behaviour as the country modernises, and provides practical guidance on how to get to know the Bhutanese on their own terms.

This book paves the way for a more meaningful experience of this fascinating and beautiful country.
