Bhutan,
Land of The Thunder Dragon available
on DVD
Druk Yul, Land of The Thunder Dragon, known to the rest of the world
as Bhutan, has been described as one of the world's last unspoild
places. Separated from its neighbors on all sides by the awesome barrier
of the great Himalayan range, it is not surprising that over the centuries
Bhutan has remained largely unknown to the outside world. As a result
of its isolation, as well as the choice of its leaders, many aspects
of Bhutan's culture and religion have remained relatively unchanged
for more than a thousand years. This video journey through Bhutan
provides viewers with a glimpse of its stunning natural beauty, majestic
Dzongs and ancient Buddhist temples, art, dance, and religious practices.
Included are rare scenes of the Taktsang Monastery, Tiger's Nest,
precariously perched on a sheer 3000 ft. rock cliff above the Paro
Valley. The monastery was destroyed by fire in l998.

Family" provides a rare and intimate glimpse into the
daily life of a traditional Hindu family living in a rural area of
the Kathmandu Valley. In their own words, the family members tell

disappearing from the valley as population pressures lead to more
and more of the land being used for housing instead of agriculture.

of Visak, the colorful festival celebrating Buddha's birth, enlightenment,
and death.
