About this photo

Thimphu is the only capital city remaining in the world that does not have traffic lights. Instead, policemen sit in booths on major intersections using hand signals to direct traffic.

Bhutan is a year-round destination but is at its best in autumn and spring. October to November boasts crystal-clear mountain views and cool day-time temperatures. Uncover the culture and local traditions on Insight Guides' Family Adventure in Bhutan.
