Cultural Conversations

Activities & Experiences

• Gross National Happiness

  • ​GNH guides the governance of Bhutan and is based on four main pillars: Sustainable Development, Environmental Protection, Cultural Preservation and Good Governance. His Majesty The King Jigme Singye Wangchuck pronounced that Gross National Happiness is more important than Gross National Product. Learn more about this unique approach to living.

• Sustainability

  • Through our close relationships with local organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Bhutan, we can arrange for speakers to come and share their latest projects including environmental conservation and wildlife protection in Bhutan.

• Education

  • Until the 1950s, the only formal education available to Bhutanese students, except for private schools, was through Buddhist monasteries. Meet with local teachers and historians to learn about the evolution of public education in Bhutan.
