Bhutan is beautiful in scenery, culture and the people

Dear Mr Sangay,

I apologise for such late a reply. Have been recuperating from the hike to Taktsang and also busy catching up with work.

My husband and I had a most wonderful time. Your country is beautiful in scenery, as well as in culture and the people. We hope they will not be 'spoilt' by the tourists and the western-version of development. We hope to never see McDonald's, KFC, Starbucks, 7-11 and the like in Bhutan, ever.

My husband found the Buddhism there fascinating, and I love the fabrics of your kira, and all the other parts of your costume. We certainly will return for future visits. All the people we met are very nice, the hotel staff is superbly well trained.

The only thing that we were a little uncomfortable with, is how many donation boxes are there at Taktsang. We understand how far it is up in the mountains and they probably need all the financial help to maintain the monastery. Nonetheless it just seems too many. We sincerely hope you will not be offended by this comment.
