People
The population of Bhutan is approximately 0.7 million. The people of Bhutan are called ‘Drukpas’ comprising approximately 65% mongoloid origin while 25% are ethnic Nepalese and 10% are other migrant tribes.

Culture
In contrast with many countries, traditional arts, age-old ceremonies, festivals, social conduct and structures are not remnant of a bygone age. Traditional arts & crafts are still practiced as they were done hundreds of years ago. Lively festivals are celebrated and social principles like age-old etiquette and code of conduct are still evident as they have special significance in the daily lives of the Bhutanese people.

Bhutanese language & literature, arts & crafts, drama, music, ceremonies and events, architecture and basic social and cultural values draw their essence from Buddhism. The influence of religion is highly visible in everyday life. Hundreds of sacred monasteries, stupas, religious institutions, mani walls, fluttering prayer flags dots the countryside, providing a strong atmosphere for the teaching of living faith.

I am now safely backed home but the memories of your beautiful country will live with me always.My stay in Bhutan was simply wonderful.
