Western Bhutan, 1983. \u00a9<\/em> <em>Matthieu Ricard.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The story opens with a text by the writer <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pico_Iyer\">Pico Iyer<\/a> in which he recalls Bhutan in 2016, almost thirty years after his first visit. As soon as he landed in Paro, he was struck by the still beauty of the country: mountains crowned with temples, silent valleys, traditional villages. Despite a few signs of modernity - trendy bookshops, foreign restaurants - Thimphu, the capital, retains its serene atmosphere, its lively temples and the gentleness of its people. The city is revealing a new face, cosmopolitan and charming, without losing its deep-rooted calm. Outside the capital, the country retains an unspoilt, almost sacred beauty, an impression that the author has never found anywhere else in the world. He recalls his first trip in 1988: an even more isolated kingdom, almost out of time, with no television or press, where there were barely 1,500 tourists a year. At the time, Thimphu was an extended village, with a rhythm of customs: kora (circumambulations) around the stupas, archers practising their skills, simple and hospitable daily life. His travels through the <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dzong_du_Bhoutan\">dzong<\/a>, The monasteries and mountains had left him with the memory of an indestructible land, imbued with spirituality and peace. Bhutan, he says, is a place of purification and regeneration, where nature and ancient wisdom inspire kindness and peace.  <br>Today, there have certainly been some changes: young people are connected, technological innovations have been introduced and the world has opened up, but Bhutan remains true to its soul: not a single traffic light in town, omnipresent serenity and close links with tradition. At the end of his account, the narrator celebrates this kingdom that knows how to open up to the world while preserving what is essential: a peaceful rhythm, a rare depth, a human and spiritual warmth that has never wavered in thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-bouthan-au-fil-des-saisons\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_Bouthan_au_fil_des_saisons\"><\/span>Bhutan through the seasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-1536x1023.png 1536w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-36x24.png 36w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.png 1603w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The thin layer of ice covering these high-altitude lakes is reminiscent of the fragility of alpine ecosystems.

His role here is not that of a guide but of a privileged witness to Himalayan culture. His gentle, precise and meditative writing gives the book an inner dimension that goes far beyond photographic commentary. Matthieu Ricard not only describes, he enlightens. He reminds us, for example, of this fundamental idea of Bhutanese spirituality: \u00ab <em>In Bhutan, the boundary between everyday life and spiritual life is thin, almost imperceptible. The temples do not dominate the landscape, they inhabit it, just as the prayers inhabit the breath.<\/em> \"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tone, both simple and profound, runs through the whole book. The monk-photographer never seeks to idealise the country, but to restore the coherence of a people for whom the relationship with the sacred remains structuring, even in the age of modernity. In this way, his eye accompanies the images rather than explaining them, giving the book a sensitive reading. During eleven years in Bhutan, Matthieu Ricard witnessed the country's intense spiritual life: from ceremonies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chagdudgonpa.org\/windhorse-articles\/drubchen-1992-s-s#:~:text=The%20Tibetan%20word%20Drubchen%20means,and%20sacred%20dances%20and%20music.\">drupchen<\/a>, These include the sacred Cham dances, real moving meditations designed to purify the spirit and transmit blessings.
