Buddhism, mythology, and daily life are all muddled in Bhutan. Travelers and adventurers consider this lonely mountain country, which has its head in the clouds, to be practically legendary. The first carbon-negative nation in the world, this place is the epitome of sustainable travel. It was only accessible to tourists fifty years ago, and visitors must pay a daily charge to support conservation efforts. Yak herders traverse snow-capped mountains, monasteries cling like mushrooms to rocky cliffsides, and rice terraces sculpt the clean and spectacular terrain. One of the most amazing paths in Asia was recently created by the Trans-Bhutan Trail, which connected east and west via 250 miles of overgrown pathways. As one might anticipate from a place that gauges happiness using a Gross National Happiness index, the locals are curious, amiable, and have a contagious sense of humor. Perhaps the world's most conscious travel destination, this nation has an unquestionable feeling of community.
