In Bhutan, in addition to the standard Buddhist festivals, there are yearly festivals celebrated with great fanfare in each district.
Bhutan has four major river systems flowing swiftly out of the Himalayas that are regularly fed by glaciers in northern Bhutan.
The Kingdom of Bhutan is the only country in the world where Buddhism is the official religion and is endorsed by the government. To ensure the perpetuation of Buddhism, normally, one son from each family attends monastic school.
