Bhutan Memories

Bhutan - country between two most populated countries China and India. Smaller than Switzerland. Negative CO2 emission factor - the only such country in the world. Clean air and land, fantastic Himalaya. Buddhist approach to people and nature helps keeping environment in a good shape and respect all life beings. I was happy to spend there a couple of days. Here are photographs which bring my memories back.
