Buddhism in Bhutan

Boasting a rich Buddhist culture, Bhutan offers visitors a fascinating journey of discovery. One of the best ways to experience this heritage is by staying in a Bhutan hotel such as Uma Bhutan that gives you a chance to easily access some of the country’s most famous monasteries including the Tiger’s Nest monastery. From thisParo hotel you can set off on excursions to a variety of other attractions that let you learn more about the local culture. Bhutan’s patron saint is Guru Rinpoche who spread the teaching of Vajrayana Buddhism in the country. It is common to see spinning prayer wheels throughout your travels and almost every household has a shrine room where daily prayers are said. Another traditional Buddhist custom that can be viewed here is the Prayer Flag Blessing which is believed to bring about good luck.
