Bhutan: Travels in the Land of the Thunder Dragon virtual talk to take place March 14

World traveller Barry Pell will be giving a virtual travel talk called: “Bhutan: Travels in the Land of the Thunder Dragon” via Zoom on Tuesday, 3/14, at 7:00 p.m. The small and predominantly Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, squeezed between China and India, is tucked within the rugged Himalaya mountains and is mostly covered with thick forest.  Monasteries, often massive and commanding, abound, with crimson-robed monks performing century-old rituals.

The country has no traffic lights, smoking is illegal, and years ago, Gross National Happiness was identified by the nation as being more important than Gross National Product!  You will see Barry’s beautiful photography as you gain insights into a fascinating way of life that has only just begun to change after centuries of isolation.
