This travelog takes you through beautiful pictures and a pleasant lay-out, to the most famous parts of the kingdom covering also the great culture of Bhutan. A wonderful book to discover this unique place and its people"" Françoise Pommaret PhD, Researcher and author of ""Bhutan"" ""I have read many travel guides for Bhutan over the years but Ashley Chen and Joni Herison's gorgeous BHUTAN TRAVELOG is the absolute best. It's beautifully researched, with the most relevant and detailed information about every inch of this magical country that only true insiders know. There's tons of great tips and an interesting section called 'Travelers' Tales' where people from all walks of life describe their visits here. But the jaw dropping photos are what really sets this book apart. Anyone interested in Bhutan will love this book."" Linda Leaming, author of ""Married to Bhutan"" ""The Bhutan Travelog is excellent! It's very comprehensive - it's the only guide book I know which realises what a fun experience the Pho Chu suspension bridge is!!!! It's a guidebook that one can read and look at for pleasure, rather than just for information!"" Michael Rutland OBE British Honorary Consul to Bhutan
