Our Director Julian reports on his recent visit to Bhutan

3rd May, 2017

I have recently had the good fortune to spend two weeks in Bhutan as part of a course organised by Schumacher College and the Gross National Happiness Centre.

Bhutan, known as the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon', is a Himalayan kingdom situated between India and China. Its remoteness means that it is a challenge to visit - it took me three days to get there from Devon! But this remoteness has also protected the country from some of the modern perils associated with development.
