LIFE ON THE VALLEY FLOOR OF THIMPHU, BHUTAN

Thimpu, at 7600 feet, is a great place to acclimatize by moving up during the day and down at
night. Bhutan is a beautiful peaceful country with "happiness" listed as its gross national product. Here is a look at the daily lives of pleasant, respectful people who value their children, education, all living creatures (including the dogs that bark all night) relationships and Buddhism. Many work in tourism, farming, and hydro-electric while others eek out a living as artist, craftsmen, textile workers and laborers. Technology is slowly taking foot, easing the difficulties of daily life while the people continue striving to hold onto their culture and peaceful way of life. The King and Queen are highly respected for living a simple and giving life as they move amongst the people as true ambassadors for Bhutan.
