The most important things you can see during your tourist visit to Bhutan

 The most important things you can see during your tourist visit to Bhutan -006

In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, I am often asked about unusual destinations and there is not a more unusual destination than Bhutan. That said, it is a place of outstanding natural beauty and a place that remains uncontaminated by the rest of the world due to heavy regulations by the Government. Here then, are my top suggestions for sites to take in during your holiday in Bhutan.

1. I would recommend that a trip to the capital of Bhutan, Thimpu is a journey not to miss. It is said that Thimpu is the most unique capital city in the world. When you visit you will quickly understand why as it is a place of stunning natural beauty, untouched by humankind. You are greeted with the amazing Himalayas which help to create the blissful ambience of Bhutan.

There are a few traditional buildings such as monasteries like Phajoding which overlooks the whole town at a breathtaking 10,000 feet and Tangu Cherry which is a few hundred years old and an important landmark.

Museums, include The National Folk Heritage Museum, Textile Museum which displays It also exhibits colourful and rare traditional Bhutanese dress (kiras for women and ghos for men).  There is also a small museum on the grounds of The National Institute of traditional Medicine.

A stunning pink roofed fortress known as Tashichhodzong stands before the SAARC building. The fortress was reconstructed in the early 60s after a fire destroyed the original that was built in the 1600s.

Dechencholing is the Royal Palace and a place where you may only take photographs from outside.  

2. Paro is a small township which houses the only airport in Bhutan and is the gateway to the kingdom for most tourists. That said there are many easily accessible places of interest in the area. The most interesting place is Paro Dzong which overlooks the   beautiful valley. Perhaps some of you will recognise it if you have seen the film "The Little Buddha" as it was featured there. Standing before the beautiful structure you would never guess that earthquakes and fires have been responsible for destroying it many times since the 1600s. 

Also an experience to behold is the Buddhist festival which can last 3-5 days. These festivals are held to ward off evil spirits with colourful costumes, elaborate music, dances and plays, a truly unforgettable experience.

Whether or not you are a spiritual or religious person you will not be able to escape the peace and tranquillity of this magically beautiful place.

3. Takshang Lhakang, also known as the Tigers nest because of its stunning location, is the most sacred monastery in Bhutan. The monastery is perched upon a rocky ledge with a sheer drop of almost 2, 400 feet. When you see how big the path up to it is, the mind boggles as to how all the necessary materials were taken up there to build the magnificent structure. You have the choice of hiking or taking a pony up definitely worth the effort if you have taken the time to travel to this forgotten part of the world.

Get glowing skin and lasting freshness with antioxidants

Get glowing skin and lasting freshness with antioxidants -002 Get glowing skin and lasting freshness with antioxidants. Although there is no conclusive proof that antioxidants keep skin from aging, experts do agree they have the ability to capture free radicals and may protect us from certain diseases. Antioxidant-rich foods can also give us a healthier, glowing complexion. According to Susan M. Kleiner, R.D., Ph.D, a Seattle-based nutritionist, eating foods rich in antioxidants is best. Theres no substitute for getting nutrients through food. The body absorbs and assimilates them far better than in supplement form.

How to Make Your Skin Look Fresh and Smooth All the Time

 How to Make Your Skin Look Fresh and Smooth All the Time -004 How to Make Your Skin Look Fresh and Smooth All the Time. Your skin is the first thing that people notice about you and that is why a proper skin care regimen is so important.  There are many products that claim to help improve skin tone and promote a flawless complexion, but the truth is that there is no such thing as instant results.  An effective skin care regimen is one that is done consistently over a time before results will begin to develop. Firstly: Always use some type of exfoliation product, which will help to remove old skin cells and other debris and particles from your skin.  This will expose the healthy cells and rid your body from the old ones. secondly: If possible, avoid constant sun exposure and tanning beds.  In addition to being dangerous where health is concerned, these may also lead to early signs of aging.  Everyone loves a suntan, but there is no reason to sacrifice your skin or your health in order
