Culture and history

The history of Bhutan is closely related to Buddhist ethics, where excitement is seen as a form of greed and distraction from the spiritual path.

Therefore, in the traditional culture of the country, neither casinos nor card houses have ever appeared.

Entertainment was communal in nature: archery, hura (darting), dancing and chanting during religious festivals.

Even today, the state ideology of Gross National Happiness relies on moral and environmental well-being, rather than commercial forms of leisure.

Unlike neighboring countries, Bhutan deliberately excludes gambling from its cultural and tourism policies, positioning itself as a "clean zone" of spirituality and tradition.
