Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan🇧🇹, stands out as the sole metropolis worldwide where traffic lights are conspicuously absent. Instead, key intersections in the city are managed by police officers who skillfully guide the flow of traffic.
Interestingly, it's said that at one point, traffic lights were introduced but promptly removed due to the preference of the Bhutanese people for the human touch of their dedicated policemen.

"The Indigenous Southerners of Bhutan: Unraveling the Tale of the Lhop People"
In Bhutan's diverse tapestry of ethnic communities, there lies a captivating narrative about the Lhop people, also affectionately known as 'Doya.' These closely connected groups have their roots firmly embedded in the lowlands, tracing their lineage back to a time before the twentieth century. The Lhop, endearingly referred to as 'Doya,' occupy a unique position as the earliest native inhabitants of Bhutan's southwestern region. Their name, 'Lhop,' carries significant meaning, symbolizing "southerner," a term warmly embraced by the residents of Paro and Haa valleys.
The history of the Lhop people weaves seamlessly into the intricate fabric of Bhutan's cultural diversity. Their presence in the lowlands, nestled amidst the lush landscapes of Bhutan's southern regions, predates that of many other ethnic communities that now call this enchanting kingdom their home.
To grasp the importance of the Lhop people in Bhutan's culturally rich mosaic, it is imperative to explore their distinct heritage, customs, and the historical trials they've encountered. As we embark on this journey into Bhutan's lesser-known past, we encounter a resilient community whose stories are intricately entwined with the very essence of Bhutanese history and identity.

The takin is a creature steeped in legend. In Bhutan, it holds a special place of reverence, with its origins ascribed to the legendary figure Drukpa Kunley.
According to folklore, in the 16th century, this Ta***ic master was called upon by his followers to perform a miraculous feat at the conclusion of a feast. Drukpa Kunley accomplished this by taking a pile of cow and goat bones and ingeniously fashioning them into a new creature, essentially grafting the head of a goat onto the body of a cow.

The Gangtey Goemba is situated atop a small promontory, providing a picturesque view of the lush green valley below. During a visit to this area, Terton Pema Lingpa prophesied the construction of a monastery on a hilltop known as "gang-tey," where his teachings would be propagated.
In 1613, Pema Lingpa's grandson established the first Gangtey Trulku, leading to the initial establishment of the monastery. Subsequently, the second reincarnation, Tenzing Legpa Dhendup, oversaw its expansion. Gangtey Goemba maintains affiliations with several other significant monasteries in the region, including Tamzhing in Bumthang.
The current abbot of Gangtey Goemba is the ninth reincarnation, Kunzang Pema Namgyal. In addition to the main Gangtey Monastery, the area is home to various educational institutions, Tibetan-style chortens, and meditation centers. Within the monastery, monks engage in retreats ranging from three days to three years. Additionally, a nearby Buddhist college offers a comprehensive nine-year program in Buddhist studies.

Bhutanese cuisine is a unique and flavorsome culinary tradition that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage and natural resources. Located in the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan has a diverse topography and a climate that supports a wide variety of ingredients, resulting in a cuisine that is both diverse and delicious. Bhutanese cuisine is characterized by its generous use of chilies and spices, which add a distinct and fiery flavor to many dishes.
One of the most iconic dishes in Bhutanese cuisine is Ema Datshi, which is considered the national dish. Ema Datshi is a spicy stew made with chili peppers and melted cheese. The chilies used in this dish are typically large red or green ones, which are cooked with onions, tomatoes, and a local cheese called "datshi." The result is a flavorful and fiery dish that is often served with rice or traditional Bhutanese flatbreads known as "rotis."
Another popular dish in Bhutan is "Phaksha Paa," which is a pork dish cooked with red chilies, radishes, and ginger. The pork is sliced into thin strips and stir-fried with the ingredients, creating a savory and spicy flavor. Phaksha Paa is often enjoyed with red rice, which is a staple in Bhutanese cuisine.
"Datsi," or cheese, plays a significant role in Bhutanese cuisine and is used in various dishes. Besides Ema Datshi, there are other cheese-based dishes like "Kewa Datshi" (potatoes with cheese), "Shamu Datshi" (mushrooms with cheese), and "Shakam Datshi" (dried beef with cheese). These dishes combine the creaminess of the cheese with the heat of the chilies, resulting in a unique and satisfying flavor profile.
In addition to the main dishes, Bhutanese cuisine also offers a range of side dishes and accompaniments. "Doma" is a popular traditional snack made from betel leaves, which are stuffed with various ingredients such as nuts, spices, and sometimes to***co.
When it comes to beverages, "Suja" is a popular Bhutanese drink. It is made by churning tea with butter and salt, creating a rich and creamy beverage that is often enjoyed during social gatherings or as a morning pick-me-up.
Bhutanese cuisine, with its bold flavors and unique combinations of ingredients, offers a culinary experience that is distinct and memorable. Whether you are a fan of spicy food or prefer milder flavors, Bhutanese cuisine has something to offer for every palate.

We express our sincere congratulations to all the extraordinary climbers from the past as well as the participants this season who overcame impossibly difficult obstacles and went beyond their comfort zones to reach the summit.

The Atsara is a fascinating figure that embodies a unique blend of seemingly contradictory elements. On one hand, the Atsara is deeply rooted in the sacred, often being associated with important religious rituals and ceremonies. At the same time, the Atsara is a master of the profane, delighting in crude humor and raucous behavior.
But the Atsara is more than just a jester. He uses his wit and wisdom to serve a higher purpose, reminding his audiences of their responsibilities and urging them to confront their flaws. Through his pranks and antics, the Atsara helps people shed their pretenses and see themselves and the world around them more clearly.
In many ways, the Atsara represents a counterbalance to the rigid structures and conventions that often govern society. He challenges the status quo, using humor to expose hypocrisy and false propriety. By poking fun at those in power and bringing them down to earth, the Atsara helps create a more egalitarian and compassionate society.
Despite his irreverent and playful nature, the Atsara is ultimately a force for good. He brings joy and laughter to those around him, but he also inspires them to be better people. Through his unique combination of the sacred and the profane, wit and wisdom, humor and responsibility, the Atsara embodies a rich and complex cultural tradition that continues to thrive to this day.

The Memorial Chorten is a prominent landmark and religious site located in the heart of Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan. Also known as the Thimphu Chorten, it was built in 1974 as a memorial to the third king of Bhutan, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, who is widely regarded as the father of modern Bhutan.
The chorten is a large, white stupa that is adorned with elaborate carvings, intricate sculptures, and colorful prayer flags. It is a popular pilgrimage site for both locals and tourists, who come to pay their respects to the late king and to seek blessings and guidance from the deities enshrined within the chorten.
The chorten is considered to be one of the most important religious sites in Bhutan and is a prime example of the country's unique architectural style. The structure is designed to represent the mind of Buddha, with each part of the chorten symbolizing a different aspect of the enlightened mind.

The conservation of the Golden Mahseer and its ecosystem is crucial for maintaining the ecological balance and the livelihoods of communities that depend on the rivers. Illegal fishing and pollution are major threats to the species, and climate change and the introduction of exotic fish species are additional challenges.
Bhutan's efforts to conserve the Golden Mahseer through eco-tourism is a commendable step. High-end fly-fishing for tourists can generate employment opportunities for local communities and help reduce illegal recreational fishing. Moreover, eco-tourism can promote environmental awareness and encourage sustainable practices. However, it is essential to ensure that the eco-tourism activities do not harm the fish species and its habitat. Proper regulations, monitoring, and enforcement of laws are necessary to prevent overfishing, pollution, and other negative impacts on the ecosystem.
