The four pillars of Gross National Happiness

A kingdom that measures happiness

Most countries measure progress by income. Bhutan asks a deeper question: is life actually getting better?

Pillar oneGood governanceEvery policy is weighed by how it affects people’s wellbeing.

Pillar twoFair, sustainable growthDevelopment that reaches every valley, not just the cities.

Pillar threeLiving cultureDzongs, national dress, festivals and language kept alive every day.

Pillar fourProtected natureBy law, at least 60% of Bhutan must stay forest, for all time.

Your trip is part of it. Your Sustainable Development Fee helps fund free healthcare, free education and conservation.
