TIME MAGAZINE: Travel Watch Nov 5th, 2001 "Although most hotels in Bhutan have a distinctly local flavor (No one would ever call them deluxe), Some pander to the perceived tastes of western tour groups and can be rather bland and characterless as a result. There are however some very charming family run hotels that tend to be smaller and much more personal…such establishments… the more low-key but friendly Jakar Lodge in Jakar, run by the ex-regional administrator and his daughter. All accommodations are included in the daily tourist tariff, but you can place a request to stay in specific hotel through your agent."

Introduction:
Bumthang , best known as peace & beautiful village. A rare combination of harmony and accord amidst a landscape of incredible beauty . Protected by mighty Himalayas from the rest of the world and enriched by essence of Drukpa Kagyu School of Buddhism, Bhutan has managed to remain shrouded deeply in a jealously guarded isolation . A basic understanding of Bhutan’s Buddhism is essential to understanding the Bhutanese.
