In Bhutan, progress is measured in terms of “Gross National Happiness” and Thimphu, the capital city, has no traffic lights. This mesmerizing book captures the beauties of this remote kingdom, the only independent country to support Buddhism as the official state religion. Readers are transported to ancient fortresses and temples, colorful festivals, and religious ceremonies, as well as to isolated communities along the roof of the world. Featuring photographs taken over the course of three years, the book guides readers through areas normally off-limits to Western visitors, and encompasses a wide range of landscape, portrait, and editorial photographs.
Industry Reviews
"Some of the secrets that are hidden within the mysterious Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan are revealed in the writings and photography of John Berthold, an eight-time Bhutan visitor from Portland. Berthold uses the landscape of the mountainous nation to set a spectacular backdrop for the traditional way of life that is carried on by the Buddhist culture. But it's his photos of the faces of the people, from the decades-old monks to the youngsters who will replace them, that capture the spirit of the country. Few Westerners ever reach Bhutan, although the trickle is slowly increasing. Fortunately, through Berthold's work, we can learn a bit about a fascinating country where few are fortunate enough to go."
