A guide to unexpected places: Bhutan
Discover the tiny South Asian kingdom of Bhutan, the first in a new series of guides focusing on remote destinations.
Every so often, it pays to escape the cities. Remote landscapes can provide a moment of clarity and an opportunity to decompress. Created in partnership with luxury Italian clothing brand Paul & Shark, Monocle’s upcoming guides will each explore a single destination in an elegant, compact format. The series begins with Bhutan, the tiny South Asian kingdom that was almost completely cut off from the outside world for centuries.
The first guide in series is the perfect accompaniment to exploring Bhutan. Presented as a persuasive set of reasons to visit this dynamic country, Monocle’s on-the-ground reports dig deep into the local culture, hospitality, landscape, wellness offerings and more. Highlights will include:
Insider advice
Monocle’s tested recommendations for the best hospitality spots and authentic local cuisine
Bespoke imagery
Atmospheric film photography that captures the wild landscapes and local fashions in vivid colour
Local artistry
Interviews with gallerists, artists, chefs and more, celebrating the country’s creativity
The guide makes a compelling case for embracing a sense of adventure and embarking on a visit. It also serves as a tribute to Paul & Shark’s proud heritage. Founded in 1976, the Italian brand’s philosophy is rooted in the beauty of discovery and the evolving sense of journey.
The Paul & Shark X Monocle guide to Bhutan will be published in the autumn.
