Why this Bhutan

The rare destination that requires the thing this chapter scores highest on.

Bhutan mandates a licensed guide and a fixed daily rate, which means the most unfamiliar country in the edition is also the most structured — novelty and planning, usually opposed, pointing the same way.

This edition

The three days of this edition are written. They are not open yet, because we do not yet know they are yours.

Bhutan is where Chapter VI goes. If that is not the chapter the two of you share, we would send you somewhere else — and write it differently.

Twenty questions each, answered separately, about fifteen minutes. What comes back is the chapter the two of you share — and the edition written in its voice.
