I have travelled to Europe, Australia and most parts of Asia… but none can compare to the natural beauty of Bhutan. Travelling to Bhutan is akin to embarking on a (spiritual) journey of self-discovery. Before my journey started, I was disillusioned with life – so much suffering and fighting going on… is there such a thing as happiness on earth? I asked myself. And the answer is “yes!”.

In Bhutan, smiles are aplenty. Visit a Dzong, and cheeky and friendly monks will greet you. Visit a school and the kids will talk and play with you like you are an old friend… at a restaurant, it’s common for the proprietors to chat with you while you enjoy a delicious meal of chillies, cheeses and fresh seasonal vegetables. And in the villages, the locals will happily pose for pictures for you. Yes, Bhutan is indeed a Kingdom of Happiness!

I’ve learned a lot on this journey and made new friends. I now look at life differently, more confident and hopeful. Bhutan has given me a renewed sense of hope and happiness. I want to take this opportunity to thank Keys to Bhutan, especially my guide and friend, Anan, for making my Bhutan journey such a wonderful and unforgettable experience… I will definitely be back!
