LANGUAGE: The three most commonly spoken languages in Bhutan are Dzongha in the west, Sharchopka in the east  . . .

WHEN YOU GO THERE: Traveling to Bhutan is complicated. While Bhutan doesn’t actually keep quotas of tourists, foreign visitors must pay substantial fees to government-approved tour companies for the privilege . . .

BLESSED RAINY DAY: In music class during our week of Bhutanese exploration we enjoy the Bhutanese holiday called Blessed Rainy Day, which celebrates the end of monsoon season in Bhutan
