Me nā moʻomeheu i hōʻea i mua o kona hānauʻiaʻana he lāhui, He nani keʻano o ke aupuni o Bhutan ma waena o kona hoʻoilina hoʻoilina, he mea kupaianaha ia a me ka uluʻana o kaʻoihanaʻoihana nui o ka'āina.
Ma hope o ka weheʻana i ka hoʻolālā holoʻokoʻa i ka makahiki 1974, hiki i ka Bhutan keʻike nei i kekahi kuhi ahupuaʻa, no kaʻikeʻana o nā kauhale kuʻuna i ka heluna o ka heluna a me nā kūlanakauhale e like me ke kapikala, ua pīhoihoiʻo Thimpu ma mua o ka hanaʻana.
E like me kekahi lāhui e ulu ana, ua ho'āʻoʻia nā hiʻohiʻonaʻokoʻa o Bhutan e like me ka hoʻopiliʻana o kēia au i kēia mau awāwa. ʻO nā mōneka ma nā kelepona a me kahi hānai o nā poʻe haole e kōkua i ka hoʻonuiʻana i nā alanui he mau hōʻailona māmā ia e hoʻololi koke neiʻo Bhutan i ka'āina.
Akā,ʻaʻoleʻo ka hanana likeʻole ka mea e hoʻohālike ai i ka likeʻole o ka'āina ma kahi o 750,000 mau kānaka,ʻo ia ka nani o ka nani nani a me ka waiwai maikaʻi i hoʻohuiʻia e ka'āina.
ʻO ko mākou huakaʻi hele ma ka'āina o ka hekili aniani i hoʻomaka i nā mea he nui, me ka leleʻana i kekahi o nā awawa mamao loa ma ka honua,ʻo Paro. Ma keʻano o ka neneke i waena oʻelua mau mauna kiʻekiʻe, ua lawelawe waleʻia ka papa mokulele e Druk Air, ke aupuni mokulele aupuni o Bangkok, no laila ke makemake nei mākou e lawe i nā mokulele hanohano i hāʻawiʻia e Qatar Airways mai nāʻAmelika mai Doha i Bangkok aiʻole Singapore.
ʻO nā manaʻo mua loa o Bhutan,ʻo ia kaʻike kūlanaʻole a me keʻanoʻole ma kaʻaoʻao o nā hale a mākou e holo ai me ka hoʻomau a me ka hoʻolālāʻana i ka phallus 'e lilo i mea maikaʻi no ka uluʻana, ka pōmaikaʻi a me ka pale. Ua kūkuluʻia he 20 mau moku kūʻokoʻa, he like ka nui o nā Bashana i ka nui o Massachusetts a me New Hampshire, akā me nā kuahiwi e hoʻokuʻu nei i ka poʻe i loaʻa ma ka'ākau o United States.
ʻO Bhutan he'āina o ka pohihihi i hui pū i nā kuʻuna kahiko kahiko e like me ka Ura Yhakchoeʻahaʻaina, kahi mākou iʻaʻahu ai i kā mākou Kiras a me Ghos maikaʻi loa eʻike. No kaʻikeʻana i nā mea e pili ana i ka moʻaukala o kaʻahaʻaina, kamaʻilio pū mākou me Dr. Karma a Bhutanese moʻolelo moʻolelo a me "keiki o ke awawa Ura" e aʻo hou aku, e kaomi maʻaneʻi e nānā i kā mākou nīnau.
Ma keʻano likeʻole i ka inoa i hanaʻia e ka hale i kapaʻiaʻo "ara" i kaʻahaʻaina, ua mālamaʻia mākou i kahiʻahaʻaina Bhutanese maoli i ka wā i hoʻi ai mākou i ko mākou hōkele e loaʻa ana i nā wahi he nui, nā mea lawelawe likeʻole me ka eggplant, ka puaʻaleʻale, kahi a hui.
ʻOiaiʻoiai he nui nā meaʻai nui o kaʻai ma nā hokele i nohoʻia e mākou, ua makemake mākou e ho'āʻo maoli i kaʻikeʻo Bhutanese, a ua lawe mākou iā mākou i kahi hale mahi hale o Bumthang meʻelua wahine kūʻokoʻa nui i hānai iā mākou ... a laila ho'āʻo i E inu mākou i kaʻona.
I ko mākou huakaʻi mai Bumthang a hiki i Punjikha,ʻike mākou i ka nani o Bhutan, e like me ke alanui ma nā wahi haʻahaʻa a hiki i ka Himalayans, i ka hanaʻana i ko mākou naʻau i mua o ka hanaʻiaʻana i ka hanohano piha o kēia awāwa.
Ma waho aʻe o nā mauna,ʻo kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona o Bana,ʻo ia wale nō ka lāhui ola Buddhist ola wale i ka Himalayan (a no laila, he mau monumoku, monikeni a me nā luakini ma nā wahi a pau.) No ko lākou nui i loko o ke aupuni, ʻo ka hapanui o lākou he mau manaʻo kūpono a maikaʻiʻole i nā awāwa e pili ana i mea e lilo ai i mau wahi kūpono loa no ka noʻonoʻo a me kaʻike.
ʻO nā mea kiʻekiʻe loa e nānā i waho o ka Dzong i Punakha, he 108 mau kualua o Khamsum Yuelley Namgyal Chorten aʻo kaʻoihana Tigers Nest ma Paro.
ʻO kaʻike nui keʻano he mea nui nā mākaʻikaʻi e pono ke nānā pono i ka wā e holoholo ana ma Bhutan. ʻOiai he nui nā poʻe Bhutanese e'ōlelo iki ma kahi o ka'ōlelo Pelekane, aia kekahi mau hana kuʻuna e pono e mālamaʻia, e like me ka uhiʻana i nā lima a me nā wāwae i ka wā e komo ai i nā wahi ho'āno,ʻaʻole loa iʻikeʻia i loko o nā mea kūpono a me nā temples ... a me kaʻuhane o Buddha, mahaloʻia. No laila, e ho'āʻo i kou pale e kū'ē i nā nalu a me nāʻupena e hiki ke popoʻi iāʻoe i kou wā e hele ai ma waena o nā ululāʻau.
Me nā hana kupanaha nani a Bhutan e hāʻawi aku ai, e puka ana i waho a me ka hanaʻana,ʻoiaʻiʻo nō kekahi o nā mea e kiʻekiʻe i kāu papa inoa.
Me nā helehelena kaulana kaulana o ka honua, ka holo wāwae, ka hoʻokele a me ka hukiʻana he nui nāʻano hoihoi e lawe i ka nani o Bhutan. Ua hoʻolālā mākou i kahi awakea e hauʻoli nei i nā pāʻani punahele punahele, kahi pāʻani.
ʻO nā hana hoʻolālā, ka nani maoli a me ka meaʻaiʻono, e pili ana me nā poʻe o Bana e hana ana i ka loli maoli. I ka manawa o ke mō'ī o ka mō'ī mua i nīnau muaʻia ai kona hanohano e pili ana i ka GDP o Bhutan a kaulana nuiʻiaʻo ia e'ōlelo ana, ""ʻAʻole mākou i manaʻoʻiʻo i ka Gross National Product, no ka mea,ʻoi aku ka nui o Gross National Happiness. "ʻO kāna keiki,ʻo ka lima ia ua paʻa loa ke kuleana o ka mō'ī aupuni i ka 100 mau makahiki i ka hoʻokōʻana i kaʻike o kona makuakāne.
Ma ke kauʻana i ka hoʻomau holomua, e mālama i nā poʻe liʻiliʻi a me ka hoʻonuiʻana i nā mīmiko liʻiliʻi i kona mau maka'āinana 750,000, ua loaʻa i ka lima o ka mō'ī ka mea i hikiʻole i ke poʻo o ke aupuni ke manaʻolana no ka hōʻailona'āpono 100%.
E nānā i kā mākou huiele kūkākūkā me ke Kuhina Nui o Bhutan.
Ke hoʻopili nei nā kulekele o ka'āina i nāʻoihana e hoʻokipa ana i nā huakaʻi helehelena o ka'āina, aʻo ia hoʻi ka mea kūʻai nui loa o Bhutan. Ua loaʻa iā mākou me ke Luna Regional o nā Aman Resorts,ʻo John Reed e lohe i ka hana a kāna hui e kākoʻo ai i nā kaiaulu kahi e hana ai lākou. E kaomi maʻaneʻi e nānā i ko mākou hālāwai me ka huiʻo Aman.
ʻO ka hapanui o nā Kuleana, manaʻoʻiʻo i nā hana i loko o hoʻokahi ola i ka hopena o ka mea e hiki mai ana, aʻo ka meaʻole i nā poʻe i hala koke aku nei me nā kino kīnā i ka manawa i halaʻole i ka nānāʻia, aiʻole i kēia'āina maluhia. I ka wā e kamaʻilio kūkākūkā ai kekahi, nā hana e like me ka Bhutan Foundation e hana ana e kōkua i ka poʻe kīnā e loaʻa i ko lākou pono i ke ola.
Ua kipa mākou i ka Big Bakery, kahi kahu kūʻai o ka hale e hoʻohana ana i ka kuli e hana i nā pāʻani maikaʻi loa ma Thimpu.
ʻO Bhutan ka'āina nui i loaʻa i waena o ka manawa. Me ka hoʻoikaika papahana e hoʻomaka ana e hoʻohuli i nā hoʻololi nui i ka hanauna'ōpio, e hele mau ana me ka'āina i kūʻoleʻia a me ka nohona o ka nohoʻana ma nā kauhale,ʻo Bhutan he huakaʻi nui ia e hoʻomanaʻo aiʻoe ma luna o kou mau wahi lōʻihi lōʻihi, mahope.
