Overview

Bhutan
Bhutan is a peaceful, safe and very friendly country in the Eastern Himalayas. If you are looking for backpacking, discos, beaches and party time, you have come to the wrong country. Bhutan is very quiet, but offers magnificent monasteries, great scenery and excellent (!) hotels. People love their royal family. TRADITION is written in capitals (e.g. clothing). But it is pricy (USD 200-250 per person, per day) and you can only visit in a tour (with a local operator).

India
India and China are the most populous countries on the planet. India is called "a continent by itself" even though it is part of Asia. It is very colorful with lots of traditions, festivities, sports (very British), dance, film and music (Bollywood!). Indian kitchen & cooking with curries, chapatis, vegies, chilis, etc is world-famous and delicious. Financial wealth is not spread evenly: a small percentage of the people is extremely rich, a middle class with good education is comparable to western standards and the majority is still very, very poor.
