Along the way this allows you to get a real first-hand view of this small but magnificent country and for you to interact with the natives also as they are also pleased to accustom themselves to foreigners and you will see a melting pot of cultures together and this is what makes Bhutan so vibrant and allows it to become more and more appealing as a holiday destination and for Bhutan tours to become more and more popular so take a look in to a tour of Bhutan. You will not be disappointed. You still get a distinct feeling that the natives are proud of their heritage too.
