When we visited Thailand in 2018, we decided to purchase a package to visit the Kingdom of Bhutan. Everything was arranged for us by Bhutan Airlines. It is a very beautiful country if you like originality and simplicity. The people are extremely friendly. We stayed there for 4 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. We would love to repeat our experience again.

I think the point of the documentary was to point out the hypocrisy of a government that claims to not need anyone, when in reality, it relies on cheap foreign labor, imports, foreign universities and talents for skilled workers like engineers, etc. Bhutan should stop all trade with India and Bangladesh if it really pretends to not need anyone and be self-sufficient. The truth is, countries need each other in today's world, and there's no going about it if you want your population to live healthily and peacefully. That doesn't imply capitalism (which by the way Bhutan is a part of considering its exploitation of foreign labor for cost reductions). Isolated villages in the hilly regions are devoid of access to proper healthcare or education. The documentary didn't even discuss the fact that so many young Bhutanese leave the country, whether employed or not. Why would they leave if Bhutan doesn't need anyone else and is a place of pure happiness? The documentary illustrates the price to pay for choosing to maintain a society that wants to isolate itself and that claims to be happier than other places on Earth. The documentary shows that no place on Earth is just happiness, life isn't just black or white. Just like every country in the world, the Bhutanese government has discriminated by race (like the Lhotshampas in the south and the neglected Indian workforce needed for construction) and exploited people to address the issues it is facing because of such isolation. Capitalism is wrong, but so is pretending to be happy by itself when in reality the government has hurt humans in unjustifiable ways, whether their own people or foreigners. People who refuse to acknowledge such things, like those calling it Western colonial mindset (I don't see the link between colonialism and criticizing a country for its violation of human rights) are blind patriotic nationalists, the same nationalists you'd find in every country, which is dangerous because it undermines the problems in their own society, leaving no room for solutions or improvement.
Jigme Singhye Wangchuk was my senior in school. Excellent football player!! Still.remember a goal he scored from one end of the field, right into the opposite goal with a high volley! He was a good person as well. Never bullied us juniors or threw his weight around!!
Believe me Bhutanese are very self sufficient people n they have very strong senses of community service. Believe me they are more happy n joyful then so called Western world.
@@andrewlee5434 Not saying that you are. I'm referencing what was depicted in this video and the substandard working conditions these Indian workers were working under regarding the resurfacing of that road, ie; Work, Health and Safety, etc. A community service is the responsibility of the employer to ensure all workers work under safe working conditions, whether be it in Bhutan or the so called Western world as mentioned by you.
I read about this Buddhist saying from another documentary on TH-cam: "We're born to die. We meet people to leave them. We own things to lose them". Maybe that's how the people of Bhutan, understanding that everything is ephemeral, deal with their daily problems.
The English subtitles from 34:09 to 35:11 are quite incorrect and grossly misleading. 1. There is no problem of rats there, like the subtitles say at 34:29 , you mistook "dripping rainwater" for "rats" as the two words sound similar in Hindi. 2. At 34:42 they're not calling the water undrinkable. They're saying that since the water here is much different from back home, their skin is not adjusting well to it. They've all developed cracks on their skins, especially their faces. They're also saying that their complexion has become darker due to the change of water and weather 3. There's no mention of "slave labour" at all, as written in the subtitles at 34:49 . 4. At 34:35 they're saying that they're fond of eating chicken, but they can't find any chicken there. They didn't say that they have to survive on potatoes and eggplant only. The narrator seems to have a negative bias in their commentary
I've spent 3 weeks in Bhutan, on two separate trips. Wonderful experience. From all the road footage in this documentary, you would never know that it has a modern paved road travesing the whole country and connecting all the larger towns. Road maintenance is quite diligent: I saw many landsllides, but all were in the process of being repaired. And when it isn't monsoon season, I'm sure even the dirt roads to the more remote villages are well kept up. The whole world could learn by emulating this brilliantly successful society.
Every Bhutanese in the video seem to be happy no matter their situation, yet, the narrator portrays they cannot be happy bringing his style of reasoning for unhappiness!😃
I strongly believe a lot of their "happiness" was for the camera, really. Using common sense, I can see their living conditions are just awful. They're not happy, I believe they're just getting by somehow.
They shot this just in time before the new road was built so they could show the western audience how backward Asia was. They would never show you the prosperous sides of Asia, because no one in the west would be watching it
@@lordlee6473 kinda agree but i think that a formate which is on the look for "dangerous travel routes" maybe is more about the thrill of the story and not about making asia look remote and "backward"
@@helgeschneider2471 they may not do it consciously, but subconsciously these western film makers have a superiority complex and they show it or express it via their lenses. Like I said, if the film maker made a show about how great Asia’s highways are, very few people in the west would be watching it.

Какие смертоносные путешествия могут быть в сказочной, прекрасной стране ?! Где всё измеряется счастьем, а не материей ?? Прекрасное горное Королевство Бутан 🇧🇹.
Because of these road laborers we are enjoying traveling different cities or countries. God bless these people. I request government to provide much needed assistance should be given to these laborers. They get pay very little in such hard work they do. Roads are so bad in condition and they really need to get fixed soon for safety. God bless all🙏
I live in java island with "perfect" road condition. We have express highway accross the island. Concrete asphalt on regular road, while about 20-30% always full of holes during the moonson season but it stil crossable. But just hear this news, my brothers in Papua with other 150 vehicles have been stuck for about 3 months in the middle of the road because of the road that heavily damage.
And now we run lol... gold :-) I love what I know about these people. Us in the west could be genuinely happy if we lived by these thoughtful principles. I dream of visiting Bhutan... but that airport scares me. Hi from The mountains in the Scottish Highlands :-) I'm binge watching Bhutan videos. I haven't seen a single obese person a d they all have beautiful health skin.
'Cable car' certainly vibrates less than vehicles or at least more locally (which can be fixed/absorbed where such stations are drilled) Do trees loose grip of their roots or concentrate more energy in branches at top when they breathe emissions e.g. by vehicles?
I'm astonished by your videos because they're heart pacing if yu consider the revines yu drive thru as yu prepare the story. Nevertheless good job buddy.
With all the issues described, still most Bhutanese people are smiling and seem to be relatively happier than the 1st world countries with all the luxury and modern lifestyle, being depression, suicide rates are quite higher.
The actual translation at 34:40 is Guy from indian plains talking: _"We are not used to the cold here. It makes the fair skinned brown and end up with painful cracks on the skin of their face while the brown skinned get tanned coal black. Lot of the work is manual labour and some get their toes crushed while carrying heavy loads"._ Basically saying the cold weather has similar effects on them had they'd been in the hot deserts of rajasthan.
Sería más interesante si subtitularan el idioma de las conversaciones. Me encanta viajar pero sin los medios económicos, viendo estos videos es como si estuviera allí. Gracias.
For those watching, the translation for what laborers said is wrong. They say: 1. We are accustomed to eating chicken and stuff but we don't get that here. 2. Water here has changed, change in water cause their skin to dry up. He has become darker.
The question of the Nepalese minority who were thrown out of Bhutan by the military; an action Amnesty called 'genocide', is an event suppressed by a monarchical regime eager to present its country as an enlightened religious paradise to tourists and the outside world. To this day the Nepalese Bhutanese have never been compensated for the land that was arbitrarily seized and then resettled. A more horrific example of ethnic cleansing would be difficult to find. The Nepali were of course, Hindu. Their oppressors were Bhutanese Buddhists.
Funny how I have my own house on my own land here yet outsiders seem to like to claim bs without verifying facts on the ground instead opting to copy-pasting false, outdated statements. Not to mention Yogita being a Lhotshampa(Bhutanese of Nepalese origin) in the video above surely doesn't look like someone who's deprived, oppressed.
@@justahuman878 Real Buddhist is peaceful. If he is not peaceful than he is not a buddhist. He doesn't know anything about Dhamma. And that guy who comment above, we never know if he speaks the true or not. So better not jump to a conclusion.
Only the immigrant and the anti national was kicked out deservedly from bhutan. Only the terrorist who burn the temple, create the chaos in the name of the Allah was kicked from there. And they deserved it. If they had broken the church and created chaos in christian country, off course the government won't hugged their az.
I came from indonesia, majority muslim. Minority stay in peace here without dare to have a problem with them.. So, to create chaos, some muslim made vandalism in their own mosque by drawing the cross and symbol of Christian. Did by themself to slander the other. And the reaction was quite predicted. "Kill them, destroy them, rape them, murder them, their blood is halal, and all the beautiful word full with a beautiful love coming from God." Police took charge, found the culprit and he was released the next day only by signed a paper with timbre. And thats it.. Amazing. And now imagine if this things, really did by Christian or other religious. Will the same thing really worked out? A Christian woman got 5 years jail time, because she complained that the volume of the mosque speaker near her house was so strong and quite disturbing. She talked properly and use good word to spoke with them, yet she quilty for blasphemy and got 5 years jail. If you lived in indonesia, you will well-known with the sound of mosque speaker which can make you jump from your dream. Its too strong and all the minority bear it for years. If they tried to said something than its will be blasphemy.
Each time a person speaks, the subtitles label it as "speaking Dzongkha" when, in fact, they're speaking not only Dzongkha but Hindi as the Bhutansese government hires Indian labours for the construction of the roads. By the way, the "shaman" was also speaking Nepalese.
Furthermore I believe more heat/people/buzz in higher regions would be of advantage. Ice breaks/erodes and causes slides rather than liquid water that enables roots to suck surrounding minerals. Of course one would have to plant many trees on top of a mountain and in the middle area.
Yes they are so simple and humble and hard working.. So. its true .. Happiness is there.. As well should not forget, it' seems infrastructure development already started and live, which explicit no more worries about their road network int he future. Yes, Happiness is there.....
I'm there right now traveling from west to far east...it's very scary. I've been in mountains from Afghanistan to Guatemala to Burma to northwest north America...these are some extreme roads.

Fun to watsch but sooo many mistakes :-) Doma is not similar to Coca, to start with. And many, many scenes were not even from Bhutan. When I lived I Bhutan, there were only deaths on the streets when people drove recklessly on these curvy streets and feeder roads. People in Bhutan are very compassionate, hence, they take care and every death is a huge and sad story. And the Bhutanese people and government are aware of the land slides and act accordingly. Furthermore to say, Western tourists are not even in the country during the period of monsoon. The film is actually a documentary of the Western view about issues. This is still a developing country where still some areas do not have streets or electricity at all. Even bad roads that are muddy within the monsoon is a step for more easy travelling. For the conditions they have, and for the man power they have access to, this is truly a success story.
By the way it is not an intoxicant. People chew it in our part of India too. Just a mild pick me up. To add more zing some will put tobacco in it, that is all. Wrong to equate it with cocaine.
@@Gansanspic well we all know is not cocaine, which come by the way from coca leaf ( plant born as well) but still some kind of herbal drug to stimulate your brain and body during stress. 😉
thank you the best and great documentary i ever seen...how struggle people life and working in Bhutan but they seems look happy and accept it...the roads are scary...
The condition of road is such due to road widening process. Once completed, it will be like other parts of the country. Most importantly, you must have noticed how people smile despite such difficulties and how they help each other.
Perhaps the real question is how does Rome's solar g o engineering fit into this story? And maybe they have their eye on one of the last magical holdouts of happiness? In their usual jealousy of Innocence?
Yogida is brilliant. i am glad you called out the slavery there is no other word for the hard working desperate people. gross national happiness has lots of minuses while i admire Bhutan for there love for the environment the modern world like a parasitical ghost is creeping in. a quality journey by Best documentaries once again
4:19-4:30 "The problem here isn't the rain: it's the devastation it can cause." But there would be no devastation without the rain, so the problem is the rain.
Around 18:00 When the conversation with Che Wang starts about 'GNH being a concept rather than reality', he is only defining GNH from his point of view and mentions how there is peace due to GNH in the country because there are self-sufficient citizens who do not have to rely on others to sustain themselves. But why are the subtitles talking about the roads mid-way in the coversation and why are you misleading the audience with the supposed topic of the conversation you mention prior to it starting? "Che wang is clearly not a believer in the Buddhist expression" Wut.
the roads are a lot better now and there are some unavoidable landslides during the monsoon due to the geography, the travel time has been greatly reduced to 5-6 hours

"Kill them, destroy them, rape them, murder them, their blood is halal, and all the beautiful word full with a beautiful love coming from God." Police took charge, found the culprit and he was released the next day only by signed a paper with timbre. And thats it.. Amazing.
And now imagine if this things, really did by Christian or other religious. Will the same thing really worked out? A Christian woman got 5 years jail time, because she complained that the volume of the mosque speaker near her house was so strong and quite disturbing. She talked properly and use good word to spoke with them, yet she quilty for blasphemy and got 5 years jail. If you lived in indonesia, you will well-known with the sound of mosque speaker which can make you jump from your dream. Its too strong and all the minority bear it for years. If they tried to said something than its will be blasphemy.
Each time a person speaks, the subtitles label it as "speaking Dzongkha" when, in fact, they're speaking not only Dzongkha but Hindi as the Bhutansese government hires Indian labours for the construction of the roads. By the way, the "shaman" was also speaking Nepalese.
Furthermore I believe more heat/people/buzz in higher regions would be of advantage. Ice breaks/erodes and causes slides rather than liquid water that enables roots to suck surrounding minerals. Of course one would have to plant many trees on top of a mountain and in the middle area.
By the way,the Civil Engineer is Nepalese dude,check it out!!! Bt about the show,I liked it much,thank u for the informative video abou Bhutan,thank u
Yes they are so simple and humble and hard working.. So. its true .. Happiness is there.. As well should not forget, it' seems infrastructure development already started and live, which explicit no more worries about their road network int he future.
Yes, Happiness is there.....
We are happy with the way we live in our own context.
I was happy to hear Nepali language spoken in Bhutan as well. Love from Nepal

"Drive Slow, FAMILY AT HOME. Money Can't Buy Life."
I'm there right now traveling from west to far east...it's very scary. I've been in mountains from Afghanistan to Guatemala to Burma to northwest north America...these are some extreme roads.
Happiness is not about road it’s all about your mind set. Self sufficient, contentment.

@@m-bbq5509 you are a troubling provocateur
@@umang-umangbalap20 Sorry please excuse me ! I read something wrong.
Duro, dificil y necesario para sobrevivir. Gracias.
Fun to watsch but sooo many mistakes :-) Doma is not similar to Coca, to start with. And many, many scenes were not even from Bhutan. When I lived I Bhutan, there were only deaths on the streets when people drove recklessly on these curvy streets and feeder roads. People in Bhutan are very compassionate, hence, they take care and every death is a huge and sad story. And the Bhutanese people and government are aware of the land slides and act accordingly. Furthermore to say, Western tourists are not even in the country during the period of monsoon.
The film is actually a documentary of the Western view about issues. This is still a developing country where still some areas do not have streets or electricity at all. Even bad roads that are muddy within the monsoon is a step for more easy travelling.
For the conditions they have, and for the man power they have access to, this is truly a success story.
Hahaha I see why they’re always happy, chewing the green leave is a custom lol😂
Biodegradable, unlike Chewing gum 😁
By the way it is not an intoxicant. People chew it in our part of India too. Just a mild pick me up. To add more zing some will put tobacco in it, that is all. Wrong to equate it with cocaine.
@@Gansanspic well we all know is not cocaine, which come by the way from coca leaf ( plant born as well) but still some kind of herbal drug to stimulate your brain and body during stress. 😉
thank you the best and great documentary i ever seen...how struggle people life and working in Bhutan but they seems look happy and accept it...the roads are scary...
HELLO!
Any Bhutanese watching this ‼️
Yes
Great 👍 video thanks

May all being be happy Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu
The condition of road is such due to road widening process. Once completed, it will be like other parts of the country. Most importantly, you must have noticed how people smile despite such difficulties and how they help each other.
Perhaps the real question is how does Rome's solar g o engineering fit into this story? And maybe they have their eye on one of the last magical holdouts of happiness? In their usual jealousy of Innocence?
Wonderful premier.🤩
Lighting the fuse and then running like hell? Sounds kind of old school. I like it.

23:06 Given the heights of these ravines it's basically airmail....Boom! I see what ya did there..:-))
From nepal interesting video
A felicidade é a infelicidade são passageiras.
Yogida is brilliant. i am glad you called out the slavery there is no other word for the hard working desperate people. gross national happiness has lots of minuses while i admire Bhutan for there love for the environment the modern world like a parasitical ghost is creeping in. a quality journey by Best documentaries once again
Smart monk made temple on the road.Good business.
Im amazed they have cell phone service in that remote area
Hard to be happy in problematic situations but bhutanis are master of it,,,,they understand life welll may be
I have watched the documentry on some other channel.
4:19-4:30 "The problem here isn't the rain: it's the devastation it can cause." But there would be no devastation without the rain, so the problem is the rain.
Around 18:00
When the conversation with Che Wang starts about 'GNH being a concept rather than reality', he is only defining GNH from his point of view and mentions how there is peace due to GNH in the country because there are self-sufficient citizens who do not have to rely on others to sustain themselves. But why are the subtitles talking about the roads mid-way in the coversation and why are you misleading the audience with the supposed topic of the conversation you mention prior to it starting?
"Che wang is clearly not a believer in the Buddhist expression"
Wut.
လက်ဝှေ့ထိုးဖို့ ဖြစ်မယ်နော် (စိန်ခေါ်ပွဲ)
Love from Kathmandu
I love butan mountain
the roads are a lot better now and there are some unavoidable landslides during the monsoon due to the geography, the travel time has been greatly reduced to 5-6 hours
It's second video I'm seeing, you're showing India's map wrong
I can visit Bhutan it's only 30 km away from here
Sir you make great documentary..... Great
