It was my Bhutanese tender who pointed down from where we had our lunch one day, at 3, meters surrounded by snow-capped mountain peaks, to the green expanse spread throughout the valley. Weed grows wild in vast amounts throughout Bhutan. Instead, they feed it to the pigs. As the tiny kingdom has opened to the outside world, the number of visiting cannabis users has risen and with it the number of people imprisoned for use and sale. Despite the recent international trend towards legalization, Bhutan has strengthened its anti-cannabis laws. Read more: Medical cannabis is legal in Thailand, or just about.

Seemingly skimming the rooftops of the capital, we landed at Thimphu International airport and skidded to a stop on a runway that seemed far too short.

The payment includes basic food, accommodation and a fee for a mandated guide, a so-called tender. By some accounts it was a particularly devout king that ruled in the 17th century who forbid the use of cannabis as it goes against the Vajrayana principle of keeping the body pure. Relatedly, Bhutan is one of the only countries that prohibits smoking tobacco. Pandemic aside, the country sees few tourists thanks in part to its high cost of visiting. Since the recluse nation legalized television in , foreign ideas and habits have crept into Bhutanese society via the internet and social media. One of those ideas is that the weeds their pigs have been gorging on for the past years is a fine thing to twist up in paper and put fire to. The most common strain growing wildly in Bhutan is narrow-leaf Thimphu cannabis, a South East Asian sativa. Along with the realization that the pig feed can get you high came the revelation that cannabis has real market value in the outside world. Consequently, smuggling Bhutanese weed — mostly to India — has become a serious cross-border crime. Photo by the Government of India via Wikimedia Commons. According to Weed legalization in Bhutan, 80 per cent of those incarcerated in the Kingdom today are there for cannabis possession or use. In , the Bhutanese government passed a new penal code to strengthen its weed laws. Now, officially classified as a misdemeanor, possession is punishable by up to three years and intent to sell possession of over 50 grams by up to nine years in prison. However, the courts allow a caveat that forgives incarceration for those who agree to take counselling. Even Zangpo of Weed legalization in Bhutan is unsure about the issue. He agrees that weed use is against the Bhutanese religious belief in purity, but he also sees the harms of prohibition alongside the great economic potential for both domestic and export sales. King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck the Dragon King has pledged to lead the country into the modern era through education, business and civil service. Zangpo is hopeful the King could inspire a shift in the minds of his people, which could lead to state regulation of cannabis for their benefit. I believe he will see how cannabis can contribute to that happiness. Submitted photo. Follow Mugglehead on Twitter. Like Mugglehead on Facebook. Your email address will not be published.

Bhutanese Thimphu Regular Seeds

Tashichho Dzong with the Great Buddha Dordenma statue in the background. Happiness is so synonymous with Bhutan, some even claim that this small country has the happiest people in the world. However, what Kinga explained to us throughout our journey in western Bhutan gave us deeper insights into what this pursuit of happiness is all about. Our second day in Thimphu began with a short stop at a viewpoint where we could see Tashichho Dzong with golden rice paddies gloriously bathed in the warm morning sun. Most of the Bhutanese capital, Kinga said, used to look like this. Sikkim was eventually absorbed into India as its Hindu population outnumbered Buddhists, an event that might have contributed to the expulsion of more than a hundred thousand Nepali-speaking citizens across southern Bhutan in the s. With Phuntsho taking the wheel of our white minivan, we sped across the capital while avoiding the downtown area. Coming from Jakarta, I bet rush hour in Thimphu would feel like a weekend in the Indonesian megalopolis. We were going to a ridge in the south of the city where a colossal Buddha statue sits midway up the hillside, prominently visible from any point in Thimphu. The current entrance to the colossal Buddha statue complex. During religious festivals, pilgrims fill up this place. One of the Bodhisattva statues around the giant Buddha. Students honing their skills in silversmithing. A glimpse of the national stadium the structure with colorful seats. Dried daphne tree bark used for traditional handmade paper. Making paper, one wet layer after another these ones are embedded with flowers. Kinga elucidated what the fourth king had done to his kingdom, from introducing democracy to enacting a constitution many people around the world would perceive as progressive. Bhutan held its first general election for the National Assembly in and the democratic process has been thriving with the latest election occurring in mid-October, less than a week after my visit to the country. This provision was purposefully included in the constitution to prevent future kings or queens from abusing their power. Some were upset that the election process had caused division among the people. This indeed happens in places that practice democracy, although it seems to remain the best means to prevent the concentration of too much power in just one person or party. From the same newspaper I learned a fact I was never aware of: Bhutan has a growing national debt that is becoming a bigger problem over time, and this issue was used by politicians from both sides to convince the people to vote for them. However, Lotay, who together with his brother started their travel business after finishing their studies in the U. Self-reliance is a recurring theme several politicians used for their campaigns, and some short visits to artistic workshops across Thimphu provided us with a glimpse of what the Bhutanese are capable of creating. First, Kinga took us to the National Institute for Zorig Chusum where young people study craftsmanship and artistry, obviously all in Bhutanese traditional style as it is an important aspect of GNH. Across the river, Kinga showed us a small factory where papers are made using simple machinery. Witnessing how the staff members carefully made thin layers of paper by sifting through a murky white concoction of daphne pulp, before gently releasing a wet sheet onto a neat pile, was not only fascinating, but somehow also therapeutic. The Memorial Chorten, built to commemorate the third king. One of the most prominent landmarks of Thimphu. Making kira a woven traditional fabric worn by women. The creamiest suja butter tea I had in Bhutan. Ema datshi was a dish we had every day in Bhutan. Ezay , a spicy condiment that goes well with any Bhutanese meal. On our way to the place where we would have lunch, Phuntsho stopped by a tall white chorten Bhutanese style stupa whose spire gleamed with a bright sheen. Some of them sought refuge in a shaded corner of the compound while spinning giant prayer wheels. Unfortunately the next day we were scheduled to leave for Punakha, a two-hour drive to the east of the capital. We left the chorten and headed to a district with a pockmarked road that led to what seemed to be a commercial area, where we disembarked first while Phuntsho tried to find a space just large enough to park the minivan. Kinga led us to one of the multi-story buildings, which upon closer inspection was in fact an old shopping center, with its shops mostly closed and its corridors deserted. We ascended a flight of stairs to the second floor, and there it was, a rather humble venue to have another round of the local cuisine. Already quite familiar with the names of some Bhutanese dishes, James and I ordered ema datshi , shamu datshi , and suja. Soon enough they both joined us and Kinga ordered some more dishes for us to try. A few minutes later a young waitress came with a number of small bowls, each filled with different items which all looked delicious as my eyes ran through one cheese-based specialty to another. The suja was even creamier than what I had enjoyed the previous day, the ema datshi spicier and the other dishes equally tantalizing. It was another filling lunch, and just like the day before we ended up with really full stomachs. Carefully we took one of each, wrapped them all together, and put the bundle inside our mouths and started chewing. We instantly looked at each other, surprised by how the combination of the three tasted; while I could handle the leaf and lime paste, it was the areca nut that was the hardest on the palate. Luckily, after that we only had sweet and juicy Bhutanese apples for dessert. We then headed to the start of a trail which Kinga had told us about the day before, while I was still trying to wash down the bizarre sensation in my mouth from the dolma during our short ride. Different species of birds chirped from the tree branches amid the canopy of the pine forest. This reminded me of Sri Lanka, a fellow Buddhist-majority country, where animals roam the land freely and safely without having to encounter much harassment inflicted by humans. At the end of our hike, the view of Thimphu unfolded right in front of our eyes, and before long the sun reappeared, giving us ample time to take photos of the Bhutanese capital from this dramatic vantage point. We wished that we had more time to explore the capital, but the following day we had to leave for Punakha Valley, a notably different place from Thimphu. It was warmer over there and the dzong was even more ornate than the already impressive Tashiccho Dzong. Tashichho Dzong from the viewpoint at Sangaygang.

Based in Jakarta, always curious about the world, always fascinated by ancient temples, easily pleased by food. Like Like. Takin really is a unique animal. Some say it has the head of a goat and the body of a bull. Thanks for reading! Like Liked by 1 person. Sounds like a fascinating time. Great photos Bama, especially the one of the memorial chorten through the doorway. Thanks Alison. You would love the natural landscape and cultural sights in Bhutan, although as a person who loves desserts you may be disappointed with what they have to offer. On the bright side, their meals were amazing! Very interesting history…and great photos. Takes me back to my time in Mongolia and finding a new culture…food and all. Love it!! Nancy of Boyer Writes. Thanks for reading, Nancy! As ever, a deeply informative post with gorgeous photos to boot. It was so fascinating to hear from Kinga and Lotay about the recent socio-political changes that have taken place in Bhutan within the last years. If their GNH approach proves successful, it would be a great example for other countries to focus more on the overall well-being of their people rather than just the growth of their income. I agree, another night in Thimphu would have been great so we could explore more. Is it just me or Thimpu is an incredibly clean place? I was looking at your photos, Bama, and if I compare it with London, or any European city, there are no discarded papers, no food wrappers, no cigarette butts, no abandoned cans of cheap beer.. Love the food photos but I bet that the dishes were at lot more fiery in terms of spiceness than they looked! Thimphu and Bhutan in general was very clean, although my eyes happened to spot a few empty plastic bottles in a gutter when I was exploring the city on foot. It made me think that even Bhutan is now facing a problem with plastic waste, although still at a very minimum level. However, the government should take actions to prevent this from getting bigger in the future. The chili dishes were actually quite spicy even for my Indonesian standard. That is not to say that you should avoid it altogether, Fabrizio, since every restaurant has its own recipe. Were you on an organized tour or were you able to travel on your own? Hi Steven and Annie. By regulation every foreign tourist in Bhutan must be accompanied by a guide. Luckily ours was quite flexible with the schedule and he would even give us ideas of the activities we could do in each valley. It was such a tranquil and beautiful place. What an interesting history of Thimphu you shared with us. I find the information about the concept of Gross National Happiness GNH very interesting and very different than what we use in western cultures. I would love to travel to Bhutan to try all those dishes especially the butter tea. Definitely there are many things from GNH that we can learn about and replicate. To me the concept of GNH is a more humanizing way to measure progress, because after all our well-being is not necessarily reflected in the economic growth of our country. It had just the right amount of everything. Great summary of the happiness efforts in Bhutan, Bama. Loved your photos of the city from above and all the beautiful people. I imagine if the world would be a better place if countries put more emphasis on GNH, meaning healthier citizens less burden on the healthcare system , better conditions of the environment contributing to long-term economic benefits , and more attention to cultural preservation creating an even more colorful and diverse world , among other things. Fingers crossed there will be more people signing up for your trip. Spring is after all supposedly a good time to visit. Mas, reading your post is like hearing a story from a tour guide while being guided to enjoy the whole city. How is it? As a matter of fact, I love being a guide for my close friends. That dessert is indeed similar with nyirih in Indonesia. Have you tried it? As for the public transport, I saw the locals taking small buses to go to work. But tourists are required to have a guide and a driver as mandated by the regulation. I think many travelers do. We love guiding people to places we know, sharing our information to them. Bangeet mbak. Setiap sudutnya cantik. We were told that the former king loves cycling, so maybe if you come to Bhutan one day you might want to loop up cycling opportunities across the country. Sebagai orang yang mulai sumpek dengan lalu lintas di Bogor, aku penasaran dengan rush hour di Thimpu dan beberapa kota di Bhutan lainnya. Soalnya aku lihat sepertinya jalanannya lengang dan santai-santai aja. Duh, rush hour di Thimphu mah gak ada apa-apanya dibandingin kondisi lalu lintas di kota-kota sekitaran Jakarta. Malah di deket pos polisi yang di tengah jalan itu ada beberapa anjing yang kalem aja gitu tidur di badan jalan. Soal daun ganja, aku diceritain sama guide-ku kalau salah satu daun yang suka dipakai buat bahan tambahan kertas itu ya ganja. Tapi pas ke sana sih gak ada tanda-tanda daun ganja. Nah di situ letak lucunya ya. Mereka sengaja menghindar dari area tertentu supaya gak terjebak jam sibuk. Sementara kita malah mungkin penasaran, pengen lihat puncak dari jam sibuk nya. O iya, terus itu keberadaan polisinya signifikan gak Bam dalam pengaturan lalu lintas? Misalnya lajur mana yang berhenti dan mana yang jalan. Dan seberapa tingkat kepatuhan warganya? Dan kalau aku lihat dari foto-fotomu ini. Tempat-tempat publik di Bhutan ini jauh lebih rapi ya, dibandingkan Nepal. Kertas dengan aksen daun ganja itu, bisa jadi souvenir yang menarik tuh. Dari pengamatanku sih cukup signifikan sih, dalam artian mobil-mobil memang gantian melintas sesuai aba-aba dari sang polisi. Soal tempat publik, betul di Bhutan jauh lebih rapi dan lengang dibandingkan di Nepal. Wajar sih karena penduduknya cuma sepersekiannya Nepal. Nah, berhubung waktu aku keluar dari Kathmandu tasku digeledah banget sama petugas di bandara bahkan buku note book yang aku beli pun dibongkar plastiknya sama mereka karena khawatir mengandung zat psikotropika padahal aku gak bawa daun ganja atau apapun yang terlarang, jadi aku sih bahkan gak berpikir untuk coba-coba beli kertas dengan daun ganja baik itu di Bhutan atau di mana pun. Fascinating read and beautiful photos Bama. Your photos of the elderly pilgrims are wonderful as are all the delicious looking food items. As I may have mentioned in one of your previous posts, the prevelance of cheese surprises me. It seems unusual for this part of the world. What exactly is butter tea? What does it taste like? I just loved how colorful the gho and kira were, and seeing scenes like this always makes me think of how nice it would be if people in my own country choose to wear their traditional dresses more often. As for butter tea, imagine black tea leaves mixed with yak butter, water and a little bit of salt. The flavor was velvety yet rich. I really enjoyed reading this, and how your writing allowed the images in my mind to be as clear as the great photos that you took. I would definitely like to travel to Bhutan someday and be able to experience this amazing part of the world myself. The food dishes that you ate while you were there, they looked and from your description sounded delicious too. I am following you now so that I will be able to read about more of your travels! Thank you for reading and leaving such a kind comment, Marcus. People usually struggle for democracy instead of being sad when it is given to them. GNH is a great concept. The eco-monks I hung out with last month talked about the same thing frequently. They want Thailand to develop to a moderate point, but keep the forests and slower pace of life. As far as I know no other monarch has voluntarily introduced democracy because it means giving more power to the people. Greed is certainly a bad thing, but progress when measured not only through numbers will help bring happiness — among the most progressive countries in the world the Scandinavians unsurprisingly happen to be among the happiest as well. Mas Bama… aduh saya suka banget baca cerita ini sambil makan siang… ceritanya asik, fotonya bagus, jadi menetralisir makanan yang saya makan nih sehingga yang saya makan terasa lebih enak hahaha…. Nah untung Mbak Riyanti bacanya pas makan siang. Coba kalau pas dalam keadaan perut kosong, kan bisa berabe. Pedes, gurih, dan creamy gitu rasanya. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
