Our guide Tika Ram immediately starts the adventure as we enter this remote country. Bhutan - a country of 700,000 people - has had only 40,000 tourists since it opened doors for the trade in 1979. They say it's a lot like Nepal but much more pristine. Bhutan is extremely selective about who's allowed in and they make sure that it is a cultural experience for all who make the list.
