While Bhutan is one of the smallest countries in the world, its cultural diversity and richness are intense and distinctive in the world. As such, strong emphasis is laid on the promotion and preservation of its unique culture. By protecting and nurturing Bhutan’s living culture it is a means of protecting the sovereignty of the nation. The distinctiveness of the culture and tradition is visible in the everyday life of the Bhutanese people which is reflected through the magnificent architecture, dress, traditional ceremonies, sports and the daily life of the Bhutanese people.
Dasho Kinley Dorji, former Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Communication, stated, “Bhutan decided long ago that we will never be a military power, we will never be an economic force, so to survive we must have a distinct identity. This is the identity you see; our clothes, language, the architecture. You look around and feel like you are in a different world. This is not an accident.”
Bhutan has been rated a top destination in the world to visit by several travel magazines and journals; majority of travelers visit Bhutan on cultural tours where they visit ancient Dzongs (fortresses), Monasteries, monuments, fascinating religious festivals, village life, short cultural hikes to some amazing Monasteries, etc.
