One of the things to do in Bhutan is go for treks through woods. I went on our "nature walk" the other day to explore the local area of Bumthang a bit. Along with Deo, my guide, we hiked around a neighboring hill and explored the local flora and fauna. One such fauna we found was a tick crawling on my pants that Deo would tell me was very dangerous. Awesomeness!
We got lost on the way but ended up making it out ok in the end, though it was a bit more muddy and dirty and we had points of walking completely off the path because we couldn't even see a path. The high altitude would plague my lungs, where just taking a few quick steps up the hill would have me feeling exhausted. But the scenery and isolation of it all would be well worth the long winded and tiredness that haunted me.
This is indeed a very beautiful country.
