Bután

Bután, a kingdom nestled in the Himalayas, is currently in the news due to King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema's official visit to the eastern part of the country. The royal family, including their children, recently inaugurated the second Rhododendron Festival in Sheytemi, Merak. This festival highlights the vibrant rhododendron blooms that color the Himalayan landscape.
