Im thinking of accepting Buddhism and Id like to visit Tibet and Bhutan in order to see as many Buddhist temples and try to find my peace of mind. This summer Im going to spend my vacation there. But my wife has been nagging ever since she has heard what I plan. What are top destinations in Bhutan she can visit while Im on my pilgrimage there?

Thats so nice! Im not a religious person and Im not into that beliefs and superstition stuff but if I were to choose a religion Id definitively pick Buddhism. As you may have heard, people say that its very hard to be allowed to visit Bhutan, but thats actually wrong mainly due to high taxes. Still, foreigners cant visit the southern parts of Bhutan. It is true that this country has been virtually detached from the rest of the world during a long period of time and thats why its tradition and culture didn't undergo any of the Western influences. Top destinations in Bhutan are exactly those related to Buddhism and cultural heritage. There are many temples and dont miss the chance to visit Taktshang monastery which is on the cliff and the only way to reach it is on foot. If your wife wants an Occidental kind of holiday, she will be bored here.
