Bhutan Guide

Kinley, a local guide, wore the traditional "gho," a dress-like garment. Nearly everyone we encountered wore the same outfit. The guide assured us there was no requirement that he wear it, and indeed I saw several people in western garb, exercising their choice to wear something else. However, I was never quite sure whether he spoke plainly. In any case, I thought the outfit provided charming color to the people and their country.
