CLOTHING
:
Due
to wide range of temperature and climatic conditions it is advisable to bring
appropriate clothing. For protection against cold layered clothing is better than
a few thick ones, so choose your cloths accordingly. Cloths should preferably
be made from natural materials, which allow the body to breathe better. You will
be offending people if you walk around in skimpy or tight fitting clothes. Although
there are normally opportunities to wear shorts, we would advise women to wear
skirts or loose trousers, men should not wear singlets. During visit of monasteries,
Dzong and other religious institutions you should not wear shorts & hats.
