Critics
“Endearing and uplifting, a simple tale from the country that measures national productivity in a happiness index, this is both armchair traveller's trek through spectacular Bhutanese wilderness and a journey of self-discovery.”
“Sweet without being sentimental, poignant though never preachy. ”
