Bhutan Culture and Tradition

This tiny Buddhist kingdom perched high in the Himalayas, a peaceful nation emerging as a big draw. Attracting those in search of a spiritual journey, a hiking adventure, trekking into virgin forests, tiptoeing into temples, passing through villages where men and women still go about life in traditional dress – or just a chance to experience a place before the rest of the world gets there. “Among those who have been everywhere, seen everything,” are adding Bhutan to their rosters.

Bhutan's People

Mostly Bhotias, who call themselves Drukpas (dragon people) are ethnically related to the Tibetans and practice a form of Buddhism closely related to the Lamaism of Tibet; many Bhutanese live in monasteries. Dzongka, the official language, is also basically Tibetan. In S Bhutan there is a sizable minority of Nepalese (about a third of the population), who practice Hinduism and speak various Nepalese dialects. 

Culture & Tradition

Bhutan has been blessed with a sustained, rich cultural heritage.     

Bhutan decided long ago that we will never be a military power, we will never be an economic force, so to survive we must have a distinct identity. This is the identity you see; our clothes, language, the architecture. You look around and feel like you are in a different world.  

This preservation of culture and identity is crucial to Bhutan in the quickly globalizing world. Bhutan’s unique identity is reflected through the magnificent architecture, dress, traditional ceremonies, archery, and the everyday Bhutanese way of life. Bhutan’s traditional beliefs and customs stress respect for all sentient beings and encourage values such as tolerance, compassion, respect, and generosity. It’s important that Bhutan never sees its culture diminished in any way. There is delicate balance between the changes brought upon by the rapidly modernizing and globalizing world and the traditional Bhutanese way of life.

Bhutanese Cuisine

Cooking Bhutanese food has got to be one of the most uncomplicated ways of cooking. Yet, if you do it right, the food that you cook can be exquisite.

Employs a lot of red rice (like brown rice in texture), but with a nutty taste, the only variety of rice that grows at high altitude), buckwheat, and increasingly maize. The diet in the hills also includes chicken, yakmeat, dried beef, pork, pork fat and mutton. Soups and stews of meat, rice, ferns, lentils, and dried vegetables spiced with chili peppers and cheese are a favorite meal during the cold seasons. Zow shungo is a rice dish mixed with leftover vegetables. Ema datshi,made very spicy with cheese and chili peppers (akin to chili con queso), might be called the national dish for its ubiquity and the pride that Bhutanese have for it.
