A stone farmhouse in a Bhutan valley sits in the shadow of the Himalaya. Wedged between China and India, Bhutan covers only 18,000 square miles (46,620 square kilometers), about the size of Switzerland. Like Switzerland, most of Bhutan is wrapped in mountains, but this sparsely settled country of about 700,000 people is scarcely touched by the modern age.
