Living in Bhutan | How People Live in the Legendary "Happy Kingdom" of Asia | 4K
Welcome to Bhutan—a kingdom the size of Switzerland tucked high into the Himalayas, with fewer than 800,000 people and not a single traffic light. Here, the government doesn't just measure money; it measures Gross National Happiness. It is the world’s first carbon-negative country, a place where tobacco is banned, trees are protected by the constitution, and stray dogs sleep peacefully in the middle of roundabouts.
Why would a nation politely reject its only traffic light and send it back? How did a beloved king convince his people to accept democracy when they begged him to stay in power? And why are so many of its youth now facing an existential choice?

In this journey, you will discover:
