I'm sure most of us can think of an inspirational teacher who helped to guide us in our journey from childhood to adulthood. Mine was Mr Rutland, my enigmatic physics teacher who revelled in turning complex concepts into memorable moments. He also started me on my journey in public speaking, teaching me and my friends the skills required to be impactful speakers and driving us up to London in the rickety school minibus to hear thought leaders of the day debating at the English Speaking Union in Mayfair.But we also heard glimpses of another life. Tutoring a young prince who would become a king. Travelling to the mountain kingdom of Bhutan where the country measures its progress not by Gross Domestic Product but by Gross National Happiness.We hadn't spoken for almost three decades, but when we reconnected recently it was as if no time had passed at all.Michael Rutland has lived in Bhutan now for a quarter of a century, became the first Honorary Consul of Bhutan to the United Kingdom and then the first Honorary Consul of the United Kingdom to Bhutan. In 2005 he was awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II for services to British-Bhutan relations and is also a holder of Bhutan's Order of Merit .I can't wait for you to hear his perspectives on the search for fulfilment, for happiness and for balance, and of course to explore the Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity he experienced along the way. This is an extraordinary conversation covering topics as diverse as the search for contentment, the skill of a master public speaker and how decades of change is also no change at all.Note on sound quality: we did the best we could with a patchy internet connection between rural England and deepest Bhutan so bear with us on the occasional glitch - the conversation is completely worth it!--Michael Rutland - Find Your Fantastic Beasts in the Kingdom of Bhutan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsGY2A0wZxA --The Unlock Moment podcast is brought to you by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD.

Landing in Bhutan was like entering a new world, nestled between towering mountains at Paro Airport, where the intricate architecture hinted at the cultural richness waiting to be discovered. Our arrival was marked by traditional white scarves and local rice wine, setting a welcoming tone for our adventure. As we journeyed through the lush landscapes to Thimphu, each sight—from the serene local temples to the vibrant markets—offered a deeper understanding of this quiet yet profoundly spiritual country. Exploring further, we encountered the unique traditions and daily life of Bhutan. Hiking through the Himalayas was challenging but rewarding, revealing breathtaking monasteries perched in the mountains, each adorned with colorful wall paintings and golden Buddhas. The tranquility of these sacred spaces, combined with the natural beauty of the trails and the genuine hospitality of the Bhutanese people, left us with a profound sense of peace and a deep respect for this secluded kingdom.

The Ancient Trail or the Ancient Takin Trail is one of the shortest and most beautiful trails in Thimphu, the trail starts from upper Motithang and eventually ends near the Takin enclosure gate. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quattropiuuno/message

This episode is about Bhutan: carbon-negative, Buddhist and a pioneer in sustainable tourism. This tiny country, about the size of Switzerland contains 774 species.  In comparison, neighbouring India— nearly ten times the size— has just 1200 species. Here we talk to Namgay Tshering a freelance birding guide about the birds of Bhutan.  Specifically he mentions the Beautiful Nuthatch, the Blyth's tragopan, the Himalayan Monal and others.  He talks about how Eastern and Southern Bhutan are a haven for birdwatchers, perhaps because the main cities of Paro, Thimphu and Punakha are far from these locales.  Watch this episode on Youtube for visuals of Bhutan.   

In an interview, Bhutan PM Lotay Tshering has denied  reports over two years of China building villages on their territory. The claim looks benign, but throw in some context — a bilateral meeting this year, an opinion piece in Beijing state media — and a worrying puzzle takes shape. Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains in episode 1200 of #CutTheClutter

Welcome to Episode #70 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! My conversation with Yangchen Lhamo, a yoga teacher from Bhutan, was so delightful as we discussed how yoga is not just what you practice, but how you walk, talk, and interact with others. I hope that this conversation lit a spark in you, about how yoga can help all sentient beings. If you're looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about yoga as an act of service then this is the conversation for you. Support the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/wildyogatribe Tell me more about Yangchen Lhamo Yangchen Lhamo is a yoga teacher and yoga studio owner in Bhutan. She teaches Hatha yoga, meditation, and Ashtanga Vinyasa. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh in January 2020, and opened Yoga Yangchen in Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, in September 2020. In 2022, she completed her 300-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh. Yoga Yangchen's main social cause is Doghouse Bhutan, which she founded with her Bhutan-based Swiss friend Nadine. It is a community-based project. Doghouse Bhutan builds doghouses for the free-roaming dogs of Bhutan using scrap materials to protect them from the rain, cold, and snow. Yangchen's passion in life is creating and improving the well-being of all sentient beings— animals and people alike. She loves learning and exploring new things and meeting new people. She believes that changing the world for the better requires you to start with yourself. After all, ‘practice what you preach' is core to being able to inspire others. What to expect in the Yoga In Bhutan episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast I was astounded that Yangchen opened her yoga studio in the same year as getting her yoga certification, as well as in the middle of the pandemic! So many yoga studios closed during the pandemic, yet Yanchen knew it was time for her to open her own. She wanted to give back to her community. Yoga has given Yangchen so many beautiful gifts, like the ability to be more reflective instead of reactive. Yet, she sure has given so many gifts back to her community! Yangchen also shared with us her thoughts on yoga. Yoga is not just what you practice. Yoga is the way you walk, talk, and the actions you take. Everything, all the small things, is yoga. For the skimmers - What's in the yoga in Bhutan episode? Yoga in Bhutan has a long history, but hasn't been practiced by everyday people until very recently Yoga as a way to balance our everyday life and our emotions Opening a yoga studio the same year as getting certified Advice for teachers who want to open their own studio Yoga has helped her become more reflective instead of reactive Connect with Yangchen Lhamo www.yogayangchen.com https://www.instagram.com/yogayangchenbhutan/ https://www.facebook.com/yogayangchen https://www.instagram.com/doghousebhutan/ https://www.facebook.com/doghousebhutan Want more?

No matter how many times you have heard it, the story of Jallianwala Bagh is terrifying. But when most of us first heard the story of the massacre, we weren't mature enough to absorb the significance of what we were reading.As schoolboys we were only allowed a casual and dinky relationship with our history text books. Jallianwala Bagh could pass as another tale of woe in chapter after chapter of bloody wars.And it wasn't until we were older and for many—let's tell the truth here—watching the movie Gandhi—did the horror of it all come home.My guest today is Navtej Sarna, author of Crimson Spring—in essence a book about the massacre at Jallianwala Bagh, but one that is more history than novel. It is a literary work that describes a historical tragedy through the emotions of its protagonists.  While reading his book, it struck me that we don't preserve and portray the horrors of history in any tangible form, say, like the holocaust museums; Auschwitz and other locations. And then it occurred to me that the broad dissemination of Indian history is principally among school children. And that includes mythology. Even ones that include mature themes, such as the Mahabharata.No wonder then that the authors who have given us history—whether as history or as novels of historical fiction—have become bestsellers. Think William Dalrymple with over a million Twitter followers, Ram Guha, Chitra Divakaruni, Navtej Sarna, and so many others.There is a hunger for history. And no better time than the 75th year of Indian independence to tell these tales.Crimson Spring is but another in an impressive list of books authored by Sarna. And among them the most compelling for me is his book on his literary travels: Second Thoughts subtitled, On Books, Authors and The Writerly Life.Through trying to find the origins and the final resting places of the great writers, Sarna introduces us to that wonderful world. And packages the most important works of literature in an easily digestible form.He is a diplomat—former Ambassador to the United States, Israel and former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. And he joins us today from his home in New Delhi.I am privileged to welcome Navtej Sarna to The Literary City.ABOUT NAVTEJ SARNANavtej Sarna was India's Ambassador to the United States, High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, and Ambassador to Israel. He has also served as Secretary to the Government of India and as the Foreign Office Spokesperson. His earlier diplomatic assignments were in Moscow, Warsaw, Thimphu, Tehran, Geneva, and Washington DC. His literary work includes the novels The Exile and We Weren't Lovers Like That, the short story collection Winter Evenings, non-fiction works The Book of Nanak, Second Thoughts, and Indians at Herod's Gate, as well as two translations, Zafarnama and Savage Harvest. He is a prolific columnist and commentator on foreign policy and literary matters, contributing regularly to media platforms in India and abroad.

भूटान की राजधानी थिम्पू एक ऐसा शहर है जिस पर नई दुनिया की छाप तो दिखती है लेकिन उसकी आम ज़िन्दगी में भूटानी संस्कृति और राजपरिवार का असर हर पहलू पर दिखाई देता है। चाहे वो शहर की इमारतें हों या वहां का ट्रैफिक, लोगों का पहनावा हो या बाजार, सारा वास्तु खास पैगोडा शैली में है जहाँ सब जगह लोग अपने परंपरागत कपड़ों में दिखाई देते हैं। और हाँ शहर की हर दुकान, होटल, बाजार, या किसी भी इमारत में राजा और रानी की मुस्कुराती तस्वीर हर जगह आपका पीछा करती रहती है। Royalty Looms Large: Thimphu Bhutan's capital Thimphu is the only place in the country that shows signs of creeping modernity. Yet its architecture, people's clothes and their normal lifestyle all reflect a strong connection with their roots and traditions. Among the colour markets and pagoda style buildings, the one thing that attracts your attention is the smiling face of the king and queen peering from every lobby, wall, mugs, pendants as if trying to tell you, "you are under our gaze".

Le Bhoutan est un royaume au pied de l'Himalaya d'une beauté intacte, jamais colonisé qui a su conserver ses traditions ancestrales teintées de croyances populaires et de superstitions. Véritable sanctuaire du bouddhisme, le peuple vient participer une fois par an, à la fête et aux dévotions dans les Dzongs ( ces forteresses monastères qui jalonnent le paysage) comme ici à Timphu. Ainsi durant six jours, ce rituel en l'honneur de la divinité protectrice du Bhoutan Mahakala sera composé de prières, d'offrandes et de danses comme celle des 21 chapeaux noirs symbolisant la victoire du Bouddhisme sur les esprits mauvais. L'occasion pour les bhoutanais de se replonger dans leur religion et d'acquérir des mérites. Un festival dévoilant un univers habituellement fermé à l'étranger, ce rituel permet d'approcher au plus près cette religion qui mêle sans cesse le sacré et le profane.

भूटान की पुरानी राजधानी पुनाखा पुरानी राजधानी के नाम पर दो नदियों के संगम पर बना सिर्फ एक द्ज़ोंग या महल ही पूरा शहर है। बस यही पुनाखा है। भूटान की पुरानी राजधानी आज भी एक महल के आसपास सिमटी हुई है। इसे देख कर लगता है की भूटान ने पिछले साथ साल में कितना बदलाव देखा है। Bhutan's former Capital: Punakha A capital city that's no more than a Dzong or a palace built at the confluence of two rivers. A look at the palace and surrounding natural beauty makes you realize how far the Bhutanese people have come. You also feel happy that the capital moved to a bigger place and Punakha has been left to revel in her natural beauty and peace.You can follow Keshav Chaturvedi on social media:Facebook: ( https://www.facebook.com/keshav.chaturvedi.37/ )LinkedIn: ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/keshavchaturvedi/ )Instagram: ( https://www.instagram.com/keshavchaturvedi9/ )Twitter: ( https://twitter.com/keshavchat )You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app

Welcome to The Best Five Minute Wine Podcast, I'm your host, Forrest Kelly, from the seed to the glass wine has a past. Our aim at The Best Five Minute Wine Podcast is to look for adventure at wineries around the globe. After all, grape minds think alike. Let's start the adventure. We're speaking with a man responsible for bringing vineyards to the country of Bhutan, the Kingdom of Bhutan. How big a country is it? It's actually not that big a country. It's about the size of https://www.myswitzerland.com/en (Switzerland). So it's probably, I don't know, 300 miles North to South and 500 miles East to est. Anywhere that you are you can sort of look in every direction and see mountains. But like Everest is behind those. And so you can't necessarily see Everest from most places. There's just one cool pass of https://northbengaltourism.com/dochula-pass/ (Dochula Pass). It's about 14,0000 thousand feet. It's between the capital city of https://www.bhutan.travel/destinations/thimphu (Thimphu), where we have a couple of vineyards, and the Valley, where we have a couple of vineyards. And so I drive over that pass quite a bit. And when you're at the top, there's this outlook that you can see like 17 different Himalayan peaks that are all in the low twenties and it's really freaking cool. And when you're flying into https://paroairport.com/ (Paro), you can see average when you fly in, which is kind of neat too. So tell me about some of the advantages of the country. I mean, the obvious one is just the water that is coming off of the glaciers and the snow runoff of the Himalayas. I imagine there are others as well. So the soil is super, super vibrant. And so, you know, if you sort of believe in some of this, you know, biodynamic philosophy where you sort of getting this balance with the local ecosystems and the biomes and the soil and the local wildlife, that's certainly part of it. They're on track to be the first 100 percent organic country, so they're really sort of against interventionist agriculture. It's more about trying to find how things will work in those climates. The water is entirely https://www.ringana.com/blog/microplastic-free/?lang=en (microplastic-free) because it's just pure runoff from the Himalayan glaciers. So you have this really good water and the climate. There's a lot of different microclimates there that sort of stretch from jungle at the bottom of the country, at the south side, all the way up to glacier. So you have all these different climate zones within the country that they are they figured out over the years like, Oh hey, you know, Mandarin oranges grow really, really well down here, where red rice grows really, really well at 7,500 feet. And my hope is that that's what we're going to find with our grapes is that Merlot grows really, really well at 3000 feet and Riesling grows really, really well at 7,500 feet. So my guess is that that's where it will evolve over time, as it's done with some of their other crops. But that's, you know, that's a 50-year plan, not a 5-year plan, unfortunately. With a business plan like that, you've done your homework and it sounds very encouraging down the line. Can you tell me a little bit about the potential markets? One of the leading roses in India right now is Mateus. I don't know if you're familiar with https://www.mateusrose.us/our-story/ (Mateus, it's a Portuguese rosé), which sells for about $5.00 bucks a bottle here in the U.S., and in India, it sells for $29.00 a bottle. There's a pretty significant margin opportunity if you can capture that market share without paying, those import taxes and tariffs. So there's it's one thing to go after a unique area like Bhutan and say, Hey, I want to grow a Bhutanese cabernet here, and I want to try to capture the essence of Bhutan, and we're going to export this to London, and we're going to sell for $250.00 bucks a bottle. That is very, very cool and interesting to kind of the wine geeks of the world. But there's...

Bhutan is not just a country, but a concept that has been fascinating to many. The Kingdom of Bhutan is caught between China and India, in the Eastern Himalayas. It has a population of roughly 750,000 people, and Thimphu, the capital, sits in the west. Never colonized, and isolated due to its geography, Bhutan developed a strong national identity and culture. In today’s program, we’ll have Needrup Zangpo, Executive Director of Bhutan Media Foundation, to share with us some interesting facts about the country. Bhutan's capital Thimphu.

A young Bhutanese monk dreams of leaving his monastery to be with the woman he loves. Initial release: July 30, 2020 (Netherlands) Director: Thomas Balmès Language: Dzongkha Producer: Thomas Balmès Cinematography: Thomas Balmès Cast: Peyangki, Ugyen Award-winning director/producer Thomas Balmès’ (Happiness, Babies) and Participant Media’s profound documentary SING ME A SONG, which is slated for a New Year's Day release on January 1 from Gravitas Ventures via virtual cinemas and on VOD platforms. The rich character study, which premiered at 2019 Toronto International Film Festival to critical acclaim, is a captivating coming-of-age film about a young Buddhist monk searching to find a balance between tradition and technology. Balmès returns to one of his Happiness (2014) subjects, now a teenaged monk (Peyangki), living in a rural (yet Wi-Fi equipped) monastery in Bhutan, absorbed in the wonders of the world that are a simple click away. The structured daily village rituals of prayer and candle lighting now compete with the powerful lure of smartphones and TV. Apps for chats and dating introduce the monks to girls and violent video games, neither of which quite line up with the traditional vows of the monks. Peyangki is passionate about love songs and forms a relationship over an app, WeChat, with a young singer (Ugyen) in the “big city” of Thimphu. Distracted and disinterested in study, and often scolded by his masters and mother, he sells medicinal mushrooms to make enough money to leave the monastery and travel to Ugyen. A nuanced portrait of a young man’s introduction to the world, Balmès offers us an eye-opening snapshot of the effects of technology, and challenges us to reassess our perceptions of self-worth and beliefs in an age of unparalleled connectivity.

Kesang Wangchuk comes from a country where the first university was founded in 2003 - the Royal University of Bhutan. Nevertheless, Kesang went to India in 1993 to do his bachelor's degree there. In the late 1990s, he began his career as a Research Officer at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Thimphu, Bhutan. He completed his master's degree in Australia and finally came to Vienna in 2010 to work at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences for his PhD, graduating in 2013.He left Bhutan for education and training only, returning home with new insights and results in and for his research. On this basis, he is currently working on improving the living conditions of highway workers in Bhutan at the interface between research and policy making. These workers - mostly Hindu from neighboring India - live on the streets, earn little enough to live on, and in recent years have begun to keep livestock in addition to their work to make a living.In addition to this research project, in this podcast Kesang Wangchuk recalls his time in Austria, talks about the so-called Gross National happiness, which is unique in Bhutan, and gives tips for new scholarship holders.This podcast is a record of the Alumni Talk "Finding Happiness in Science and Research" of March 21, 2019.

We come to you this week from Boggers a.k.a Bogota, the capital of Colombia and the third-highest capital city on this green earth. (If you don't count Bhutan's capital Thimphu, which we ignored in this podcast) It was a long but beautiful slog to haul ourselves up here and what a huge and disorganised city we found at the top of the climb. However, the people have been fantastically friendly and this place has a rich history to explore. On the way here, we stayed in some strange and wonderful places and stopped off at a picture postcard town with an unusual style ethic. What's in the pot is back again and we continue to lift the lid on our breaking story regarding feijoas. Hey, and thanks for listening to the How Are You? Where Are You? podcast. This podcast also has pictures so pop along to our website www.howareyouwhereareyou.com to feast your eyes.
