I'm from Bhutan and happy to see this spreading like wild fire 🔥🔥🔥. Need support from other countries to help develop our little country and our mindful city.
Very inspiring segment....I've been to Bhutan and the Bhutanese are gracious, hospitable, and kind people. So happy to hear of the King's vision. Bhutanese need to stay in Bhutan to keep their culture and tradition. They are one of a kind!
Warning from a US citizen, democracy is good, capitalism is not as good. Capitalism has poisoned a lot of Americans to care more about money than our land or people, and the more wealth some have it seems that’s all they want. Hold tight to your cultural heritage as you modernize and keep your values. Your country seems beautiful and so well run with the health and education and spiritual life of all being important - I hope it remains this way and that you do not have to leave any of these traits behind as you move forward with technology.
Also,if we Bhutanese are using Democracy,I hope its Technocracy because we will get more responsible people in our government voted by responsible and wise people
Extremely wellness sounds came from Bhutan 🇧🇹 bright future come from bright n delight souls, pray from my side all goals come to success through government , Respect from Nepal 🇳🇵🌺🌺🇧🇹🙏🏻.
His Majesty, You are the father of inspiration to all Bhutanese and beyond. You are a result of hard work and passionate dedication to any assignment. You came and cemented a strong bond between people and still building a tower to be emulated by generations hence you are known as people's king. Personally, I love your zeal and resilience. I always get emotional when you start to deliver a speech...You are a living god for us Bhutanese....I am pretty confident Gelephu mindfulness city will be a great project...I am more excited because i am from gelephu....Love live His Majesty...love live Bhutan Palden Drukpa Gyalo🇧🇹🇧🇹🇧🇹🇧🇹🙏💙
One of the amazing countries that I have visited. People are very generous and very kind. They are highly educated and super talented. The tourism and organic agriculture industries should be restrategized for economic growth.
i visited bhutan more than 5 years ago, part of its charm is the isolation and focusing on living itself. By changing direction to being economy driven will be like 180 degree shift for them. And its too ambitious to be thinking of building metropolitan city without foreign aid like China. When i was there, not even half the country has proper tar road, half of my journey was bouncing around in the car on dirt road.
Bhutan has No choice. It must diversify its economy. It cannot lose 10% of its population, most of them young and well educated without collapsing. So well done Bhutan. I believe Bhutan can succeed. It’s relatively uncorrupt society and has grown its GDP per capita is about USD3,000 which is $1000 more than India
When Singapore 50 times smaller than Bhutan could achieve everything, why not Bhutan? I am just waiting to complete my studies to return Bhutan. Now, it’s our time, we have suffered a lot in the name of preserving nature, fighting global warming. It’s not only our responsibility, every country should act and why should we shoulder the responsibility of doing everything by ourselves?
Loll......Singapore is at the tip of straits of Malacca, the busiest straits in the world.....how to compare a land locked country like Bhutan? Even Kazakhstan need many times of effort just to attract foreign investment though
Yep you're right but they can find their ways to utilise their assets in an economical way, and btw Singapore had a strong minded leader Lee Kuan yew, so they need a leader who can do proper business and can tackle problems, they don't have major lifestyle problems such as Singapore had before economic rise like poverty, lack of food and resources, etc.@@chinthengfong1598

One of the fascinating countries I ever visited. I went there 2 years ago and the guide also told me about his sister who used to work as a hotel manager and moved to Australia and now works there as a cleaning lady but got higher salary. From what they told me, Bhutanese people have a good relationship with Australia because when Covid hit they didn’t fly away to escape but chose to stay and work (which helped the society function).
Haha. I am in aus and almost all of the immigrants here started their career with cleaning and still doing. Even cleaning job are dignified. Y I feel like ur post smells like jealousy.
I am glad to see that a preserved country is moving in the direction of modernizing the country without sacrificing its rich culture and environment. Bhutan could be the example of preserving a nation eco and environmental system while stepping into the new century of modernization.
My hat to Bhutan for having this ambitious goal in mind. I must point out that even the some of most environmental friendly countries in the world such as Germany or Norway have not being able to make it work to the same degree. In addition, it will be very expensive. Sri Lanka had tried to be an all organic food nation and that policy really back fired on it.
the bhutan government has stifled private sector for decades and now the people are fed up with the rich getting richer and the poor gettign poorer. Tens of thosuands of Bhutanese have left and many are on the way out to find a better life abroad! good luck to you all and hope your dreams come true outside of bhutan
Simply beautiful ♥️ God bless the people of Bhutan And may God guide the hand of the King so he’s dreams for he’s people may be realised. I too dream to bring this level of forward thinking to my country the Philippines. If only the government of the Philippines had this much heart for the well being of the Philippino people. But there is so much corruption in my country. Historically, Philippino Presidents have stole billions of dollars from the people. And the rich live like kings while the people suffer. Wish me luck to end corruption and bring peace and prosperity to the Philippines 🇵🇭
Bhutan have ppp per capita even similar to south africa, still better than many asian countries while preserving its culture and environment. No overwork, perfect work life balance, less stress A human should think about himself too sometimes than rather thinking as whole nation to progress fast like korea where your future generation could either barely sustian or die.
I hope Bhutan remains like Bhutan thousands of years later because that is what our kings have envisioned and that is what we as people and sentient beings wish for as well. 💛💚
The most beautiful of Bhutan, for me, are the children. They are pure, like a diamond. Their eyes shine and have the bright of pure beings. they are carried on the backs of their happy mothers with pride and naturally. Many young bhutanese people migrate for a simple opportuity of to live like 'west' people. The goverment, as in many (all) others countries in the world, is the same: they live in his own world of rules, tax, and socialist ideology, without working for the people
@@NandodiazG I need to remind you that their citizens only got access to the internet around the 2000s and were pretty isolated. Free education is provided by the state, so of course, they will obey their ‘king.’ Nearly every reign is called a modernized monarchy because each ruler makes a tiny bit of change, but the country remains poor. It’s like asking a North Korean peasant if Kim Jong-un is a good leader-they would say he is good compared to past leaders because they are so uneducated about the outside world and politics. If you rule over uneducated people with no chance to improve themselves, it’s easy to be the richest person in the country.
@@chicho4802:/ Dude,our average iq may be between 60 or 70 but keep in mind we are literally taught good amount of english,but of course not all Bhutanese knows english
To the leaders and my fellow citizens never give up on the possibilities of greater future ahead of our new generation, as it’s all depends on how we react and think about our future. Only if we follow one plan, it will work. Please stay positive and react positively
Bhutan doesn’t need massive project, focus on infrastructure development and ease tourism your small country and population will benefit from it not propaganda of happiness alone.
When did Bhutan engage in happiness propaganda? Gross National Happiness is our socioeconomic development philosophy, which helps us balance material development with spiritual development---underpinned by good governance. We do not impose GNH on anybody---and to say that Bhutan is in the business of happiness propaganda is very misleading and rude. And how do you know that Bhutan does not need massive project? Have you even been to Bhutan and studied Bhutan's socioeconomic development, current challenges, future opportunities, and potential?
Happiness comes when people have access to pretty much everything like Norway & Denmark, more than 50% of people from Bhutan has never left the country and hasn’t seen what’s outside world like in terms of accessibility and if not that then why would the young generation wants to get out of country especially for Australia?
They speak very food English! Hope Bhutan can develop into a country which can balance GDP and happiness. It will take years and years. The people must be trained to accept some capitalism too.
I'd feel really sorry for this stunning country with its original people and culture...if the "great political powers" convince them to "Westernise".... Really sorry! Beautiful film, thanks for sharing ;)
There are already plenty of established retreats in Thailand. It will not be easy for this project to succeed. I don't see anything special it has to offer.
Every country is special in its own way. It depends how you present it . Thailand being popular retreat hasn't Stopped Bali , Nepal , Maldives , Switzerland being parallel retreat destination
Yes! Tourism and Development goes All Together. To start with Tourism Sector needs to be Promoted. Infrastructure needs to be created for Tourism. Promotion of Tourism need to be done for International Attention. Airport Infrastructure need to be Improved.
@@theMiaow Economy is about money and competitiveness, I think we can agree that mindfulness is not about that. Anyway, both you and I are keyboard warriors, we can type anything we want :)
The Bhutan Megacity project will be difficult to pull off. It will become a white elephant. Plane tickets for the Royal Bhutan Airline is expensive. Accommodation is also not cheap. So only the rich can afford it. But why should they go there for their retreat? Can they get enlightenment faster?? The only thing enjoyable in Bhutan is climbing up to the Tiger Nest Temple. Thailand is already quite well established for Buddhist retreats and will definitely be cheaper.
To compete effectively as a mindfulness centre, cost for tourists have to come down. And you need to work with India and/or China for better overland connections. Having to fly in among the cliffs is crazy and number of flights coming in will be restricted.
But you definitely need to restrict tourist movement from the Mindfulness Megacity. The transport infrastructure in the country cannot support mass tourism. Accidents are bound to happen on the narrow mountain cliff roads; with disastrous consequences.
It was ridiculous from the beginning allowing Internet but not getting higher wages, many Bhutanese watching others getting big houses cars and all for the same work they do, is easy for them to blame covid when the problem was showing way before covid hit, at least they are looking very western making excuses. Is imposible to mix spiritualism with capitalism and they know but they have no choice this time.
@@RUclipscensormydick GNH is only a theory, an ideology, like socialist ideology could be, but in practice many young Bhutanese migrate to find both, 'wellbeing and monetary wealth'. Something is not working.
@@NandodiazG Social media paints a rosy picture about the developed world and young people want to have more than their parents have at home. It applies not only to Bhutan but East and South Europe and all those countries which are not part of the "rich developed nations". They believe anything as they are young and they have to see the world in order to have experience.
I wish the Doc makers would give some facts like how much would a project like this will cost ? How long will it take to build it if they got 100% funding.
Serves you people right. Shitting on the plate you all were eating from. You people tried to overthrow the king..just like you did in Sikkim. Can't trust you all, and that is why you all are out of Bhutan. If you want to blame anyone, then blame your parents and grandparents for what they tried to do to the country.
@@SajanLimbu-so8gx it’s your mind set, we are moving forward with prosperity and abundance. We Bhutanese have been independent and we Bhutanese are independent and we Bhutanese will be independent forever. Good bye! Rotten eggs! Get well soon!!!
Hope Bhutan will be able to develop its country for the bene fits of their commo n people more social ly relevant not too much competetion and amassment of wealth
While large-scale projects like the Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) naturally raise questions about feasibility, it's important to recognize that doubts can hinder the transformative vision His Majesty holds for Bhutan and the region. Everyone has a role to play in the success of this special city, and we hope conscious investors will contribute their resources to its development. The GMC envisions a harmonious blend of nature, culture, and modern living, creating a sustainable haven that fosters well-being, innovation, and economic growth while preserving Bhutan's unique heritage and environment.

150,000 Bhutanese living refugee else where in the planet kicked out in 1990. Take them back you will have almost 1 Million. World has forgotten them. Some 15,000 still living in hot tropical plains of Nepal under auspicious of UNHCR. Dr. Bhumpa Rai, then Royal eye surgeon until he fled the kingdom recently died in refugee camp. He never had his wish to live in west but remained in hot plains as refugee in hope of returning his mother land Bhutan. Rest In Peace Dr. Rai. You are truly Bhutanese patriot.
Those are Neplese immigrants who tried to overthrow King by Going against the law. Bhutan have right to protect its country. Traitors will be dealt same way in any country .
Nepali migration is the biggest threat to the world. Australia, Finland, Germany all developed countries are now full of illegal nepali migrants. Bhutan King did a great job to get out illegal migrants from Nepal to save the locals.
You worry about yourself and we Bhutanese will worry about ourselves. If you’re not holding Bhutanese Passport that’s because you’re not Bhutanese. We love our king, country and all Bhutanese! དཔལ་ལྡན་འབྲུག་པ་རྒྱལ་ལོ

There is no harm in trying. We would never know if we dont try. I believe in my king and the people of Bhutan does too. Thats all it matters.
I don’t think this PM is honest , Bhutan could have easily developed with tourism but their obky source of income was stopped after Covid as they raised the tariffs on tourists and locked themselves for more than a year during Covid … on if the dumbest decisions any country could make were made … I don’t get why the citizens don’t complain too much submissiveness
not now, not tomorrow, not in this life, and definitely not in next generation. Exiled? you people disturbed the very peaceful and harmonious kingdom when that country gave you a shelter to live. Accept the fact that your plans to topple down MOnarchy ddint work and when we flushed those terrorists out of the country, now they realized they made mistake by seeing how peaceful Bhutan is. Its because there are no trash left in Bhutan. Those trash were thrown away already in the garbage back then in 1990s. That gorkha minded trick didnt work in Bhutan. Dont ever say, you were a bhutanese back then, you guys werent bhutanese but an immigrants settled in the southern bhutan illegally. Just imagine, if bhutan didnt flush you guys out? Bhutan woulkd have become same like Nepal, no stable government, frequent riots, strike, killings etc. All i wanna say is do take care always and pray well. stay safe.
More than 10 thousand bhutani have settles in usa,bring those refugees back and ask them to help them invest,bhutan is clean the people likes to keep their country clean,promote toursim,bhutan can be the next switzerland and 1 thing tighten the border with india,else all those begger rackets from rajastan bihar will enter a new country to beg,else indian tourist are very wealthy

For a long time there has been so much corruption surrounding the Royal Family. I'm glad people are waking up and Leaving Bhutan. The double standards of Government/Royal Family has caused many to leave.
I strongly urge you to reconsider your choice of words and approach in discussing such matters. Speaking negatively about the royal family is highly inappropriate and offensive to all Bhutanese. Please choose your words carefully and reflect on the gravity of what you say. I would appreciate it if we could maintain respect and decorum in our communication, or else, such a blabbering mouth of yours requires a traditional bhutanese phallus to shut you up .
Many tried hard to show how special Bhutan was but in the end the experiment was a failure and they themselves are recognizing that rven if they can't spell the word capitalism because that would be a complete embarrassing after all those years of propaganda that ended like this, note that people started leaving Bhutan before covid because many didn't want to just live as tourist guide's specially agter watching other Bhutanese that work outside having way more money for the same work while a average Bhutanese have to work hard to get the latest Iphone
megacity project if depending on foreign investors alone will not be enticing noting transportation out of bhutan is a nightmare. besdies tourism or agriculture industries.

mega city in Bhutan???? their whole population is under a million. Los Angeles Metropolitan area is 10 million. New York city itself alone is 10 million. tokyo last I check is over 30 million. I went to double check. 37 million in the metropolitan area.
Your city populations numbers are WRONG lol. City of Los Angeles only have over 3 million people. New York City has just over 8 million, and Chicago has 2.6 million people….those are US cities. How do I know? I’m American, can read, know how to Google US city population to gain facts lol. Fyi Tokyo only have 13 million people not “30 million” 🙄.
Don't worry too much, look at your neighbor India. There are millions of young Indians still jobless and can't find work for years - yet they are all still happy with their government.
Tibet have their own problems, Bhutan have their own problems, everyone have their own problems. People are born to suffering until they reach enlightenment. The good news is that everyone have the chance to be a Buddha.
Funding coming from where? Rich crypto bros hub for the Balaji nation state crowd is where this sounds like it's headding. Promisory wishfulness with no plan
And how do you know that Bhutan has not done any research? Did the king and prime minister sit with you to discuss the plan? Don't act like a frigging know all. What level of education do you have? We have more qualified people than you in Bhutan. No one likes a fricken know all. Balaji nation? You mean India? And how is your country, Myanmar doing? Look at your own sad situation before talking ill of others.
Thank of a marriage. You would have to give some of yourself away, and to adopt some part of the other party as your own. It goes for both parties of course. You cannot have what modern lifestyle can offer without giving away some of your ideals. Where the balance is? It would be a "suck it and see", or "trial and error" approach. Because Bhutan has been able to shield itself from outside influence, it really doesn't have a role model to follow. In other words, it doesn't have the foundation for what is to be done. I think Bhutan does suffer from the same dilemmas many Pacific Islands are facing...the economy of scale and isolation. It doesn't have large enough population to sustain a strong economy. Sadly, a sustainable economy would invariably have some form of industry. Bhutan doesn't have a technology based industry except tourism. That is over-dependence on a single industry as proven by the recent pandemic crisis. Another dilemma Bhutan is facing is accessibly. While its isolation is a plus in many ways, it is also a curse and a burden on the country obviously. This is the same with the Pacific Islands. Boat transportation is almost the ONLY viable means to travel. Imagine the impacts of a serious cyclones. Maybe America can come to the aid of Bhutan ? 😀
I think rhetorical speeches, artist impressions and vision cannot build the city. The power lies in the execution and the money (investment) behind it. From the look of it, it seems like money has not reached the ground yet with empty and abandoned buildings.

I went there 2 years ago and the guide also told me about his sister who used to work as a hotel manager and moved to Australia and now works there as a cleaning lady but got higher salary. From what they told me, Bhutanese people have a good relationship with Australia because when Covid hit they didn’t fly away to escape but chose to stay and work (which helped the society function).
Haha. I am in aus and almost all of the immigrants here started their career with cleaning and still doing. Even cleaning job are dignified. Y I feel like ur post smells like jealousy.
#yothiga....I didn't know there were still flights available during COVID ... even so where can they run away and fly to? Please share
@@malgudidays3311 I don’t know the details that just what local told me and I never thought about it until I watched this video.
I am glad to see that a preserved country is moving in the direction of modernizing the country without sacrificing its rich culture and environment. Bhutan could be the example of preserving a nation eco and environmental system while stepping into the new century of modernization.
Bhutan should balance nature and development as it has done till now.
My hat to Bhutan for having this ambitious goal in mind. I must point out that even the some of most environmental friendly countries in the world such as Germany or Norway have not being able to make it work to the same degree. In addition, it will be very expensive. Sri Lanka had tried to be an all organic food nation and that policy really back fired on it.
Bhutan has a population of only 1 million. So they can afford to be all organic.
Beautiful documentary! Nicely presented.
the bhutan government has stifled private sector for decades and now the people are fed up with the rich getting richer and the poor gettign poorer. Tens of thosuands of Bhutanese have left and many are on the way out to find a better life abroad! good luck to you all and hope your dreams come true outside of bhutan

I too dream to bring this level of forward thinking to my country the Philippines.
If only the government of the Philippines had this much heart for the well being of the Philippino people.
But there is so much corruption in my country.

The most beautiful of Bhutan, for me, are the children. They are pure, like a diamond. Their eyes shine and have the bright of pure beings. they are carried on the backs of their happy mothers with pride and naturally. Many young bhutanese people migrate for a simple opportuity of to live like 'west' people. The goverment, as in many (all) others countries in the world, is the same: they live in his own world of rules, tax, and socialist ideology, without working for the people
They are proud of their kings, and wallpaper the walls with their pictures. They are handsome indeed, and they believe in them.
@@NandodiazG I need to remind you that their citizens only got access to the internet around the 2000s and were pretty isolated. Free education is provided by the state, so of course, they will obey their ‘king.’ Nearly every reign is called a modernized monarchy because each ruler makes a tiny bit of change, but the country remains poor. It’s like asking a North Korean peasant if Kim Jong-un is a good leader-they would say he is good compared to past leaders because they are so uneducated about the outside world and politics. If you rule over uneducated people with no chance to improve themselves, it’s easy to be the richest person in the country.

Bhutan doesn’t need massive project, focus on infrastructure development and ease tourism your small country and population will benefit from it not propaganda of happiness alone.
When did Bhutan engage in happiness propaganda? Gross National Happiness is our socioeconomic development philosophy, which helps us balance material development with spiritual development---underpinned by good governance. We do not impose GNH on anybody---and to say that Bhutan is in the business of happiness propaganda is very misleading and rude.
And how do you know that Bhutan does not need massive project? Have you even been to Bhutan and studied Bhutan's socioeconomic development, current challenges, future opportunities, and potential?
Happiness comes when people have access to pretty much everything like Norway & Denmark, more than 50% of people from Bhutan has never left the country and hasn’t seen what’s outside world like in terms of accessibility and if not that then why would the young generation wants to get out of country especially for Australia?

The Bhutan Megacity project will be difficult to pull off. It will become a white elephant. Plane tickets for the Royal Bhutan Airline is expensive. Accommodation is also not cheap.

Thailand is already quite well established for Buddhist retreats and will definitely be cheaper.

To compete effectively as a mindfulness centre, cost for tourists have to come down. And you need to work with India and/or China for better overland connections. Having to fly in among the cliffs is crazy and number of flights coming in will be restricted.
But you definitely need to restrict tourist movement from the Mindfulness Megacity. The transport infrastructure in the country cannot support mass tourism. Accidents are bound to happen on the narrow mountain cliff roads; with disastrous consequences.
I agree with your points buddy

Bhutan is now feeling the bite of not embracing capitalism.
In today's time Every country is capatalist except for North Korea
It was ridiculous from the beginning allowing Internet but not getting higher wages, many Bhutanese watching others getting big houses cars and all for the same work they do, is easy for them to blame covid when the problem was showing way before covid hit, at least they are looking very western making excuses. Is imposible to mix spiritualism with capitalism and they know but they have no choice this time.
GNH is not anti capitalist. It's the balance of the people's wellbeing and monetary wealth
@@RUclipscensormydick GNH is only a theory, an ideology, like socialist ideology could be, but in practice many young Bhutanese migrate to find both, 'wellbeing and monetary wealth'. Something is not working.
@@NandodiazG Social media paints a rosy picture about the developed world and young people want to have more than their parents have at home.

Because Bhutan has been able to shield itself from outside influence, it really doesn't have a role model to follow. In other words, it doesn't have the foundation for what is to be done. I think Bhutan does suffer from the same dilemmas many Pacific Islands are facing...the economy of scale and isolation.
It doesn't have large enough population to sustain a strong economy. Sadly, a sustainable economy would invariably have some form of industry. Bhutan doesn't have a technology based industry except tourism. That is over-dependence on a single industry as proven by the recent pandemic crisis.
Another dilemma Bhutan is facing is accessibly. While its isolation is a plus in many ways, it is also a curse and a burden on the country obviously. This is the same with the Pacific Islands. Boat transportation is almost the ONLY viable means to travel. Imagine the impacts of a serious cyclones.
