Once Came ‘happy Country’ Bhutan

After more than five hours leaving Bangkok (Thailand) and calling Kolkata (India), the Druk Air Boeing started to slow down, lower altitude, and prepare to land at Paro International Airport. The only country in the world that introduced the concept of "Gross National Happiness" (GNH) instead of "Gross National Product" (Gross National Product - GNP) and was the country with the happiness index. Asia's tallest, in the name of Switzerland - appeared briefly under the wings. Seconds and seconds passed. The mountains undulating among the clouds, standing in the middle of the snow-capped mountains are gradually coming to reveal most of the grandeur and magical beauty of the Hymalaya region (Himalayas)

. Ten hours more than 30 minutes. shining. The sun was high We stepped out of the plane's stairs in the dry weather.



The wind, like thin ribbons, pressed gently against us, making each of us shiver slightly. Camady, a tour guide for the National Tourism Company of Bhutan, dressed in Gho (National Dress), raised her hands and waved. His voice came out funny, “Hi Vietnam. Too cold, isn't it? It was the first gift of Bhutan and the heavens. ”The 24-seat car, the popular passenger car in Bhutan, began to change its wheels, leaving Paro city in the direction of Thimphu, the capital of a land of thousands of years of pride and pride. Thunder Dragon Phone. We began to think about Camady's wishes Looks like something in there is both witty and profound, and very real.



Perhaps that is the way of expressing the heart of the Bhutanese. Because of the cold we are experiencing, winds intentionally brought back from the mountain peaks that always has snow, forever surrounding Paro. It was the first gift from heaven and earth. How could we not sincerely thank. Only the mountains, streams and Dzongs (temples, monks' practice sites) are tall, all the rest in Bhutan are just right. The eyes of happiness: No bombastic, noisy like the very culture of Hymalaya Buddhism. The "moderate" thing that can be seen as soon as you get off the plane is your home. From Paro, Thimphu to other cities and towns in the country, there are no buildings more than eight stories high.



All are similar in architectural patterns, patterns and also with opaque white paint. The King's residences in the Royal family and government officials are not much different from those of the people. That was the order of the dynasty. Until now, in Thimphu capital (let alone in other cities) there are no traffic lights. No, but according to Camady, there hasn't been a traffic jam yet. "Partly because the density of vehicles is not high, but more importantly is still the awareness of obeying the traffic laws of the people very high," he said. We would be ashamed to speed or go our wrong part. ”And, until now this country is still free of social evils such as prostitution, gambling, theft, murder.



Bhutanese people do not smoke, do not use plastic bags, do not cut trees and catch fish in rivers and streams, and pick flowers in public. "In Bhutan, every house has a door, but not many houses are locked. ". At least twice as Camady told us that, someone exaggerated beautifully to think that when the Boeing crouched down two cliffs, if you put your hand through the window, the train passenger could pick a few. forest petals. As for me, twice a morning while standing in the lobby of a hotel on this side of the Paro River, I almost touched the wing of a Boeing as it was about to leave the runway on the other side of the river. .Bhutan is a so-called narrow country that is formed by valleys between high cliffs.



There is only one international airport in the country, but there is only one runway at that airport. The "door" down of the airport lies between two dangerous cliffs. In addition to the "special" flight crew of eight great commanders of Bhutan, there is no pilot in the world who "dares to try to tilt their wings" between the two cliffs to land on Paro. A very interesting surprise is in the afternoon. First to the capital Thimphu, we were invited to a cup of hot tea in the middle of a room with a hint of incense. The story heard that day is the story of the birth of two cliffs that made up the title of "Paro, the most spectacular airport in the world" that the International Aviation Association voted, heard about three rounds - "It is a gift from an ancestor lama from countless lifetimes given to Bhutan, but it will take until the country is reunified and ruled by the Wangchuck dynasties that it truly becomes two doors. open for trains landing in the gateway city of Paro. ”Do not be surprised, nor be upset if you come to the country of the Thunder Dragon and hear stories like that.



Because in Bhutan, it seems that every mountain range, every stream, river section and animals are born with a beautiful story: "We don't catch fish in rivers and streams and don't eat them because, on top of their heads, Most Omni have the word Om ”(Omni is the name of a popular fish in Bhutan, just like a carp in Vietnam)..
