I visited Bhutan for a short trip. It is beautiful and safe, and the locals have made every effort to preserve their culture. From my experience, Bhutan is a well-organized, clean, and peaceful country.

I visited Bhutan in 2019 and it was amazing. It was also the most extraordinary travel experience I have ever had. I felt very safe. I traveled there alone, but I always had a guide and a driver with me. I want to go back and see more.
