Post industrialisation, most cities have massive infrastructure and uncontrolled pollution. However, Thimpu city is an exception.

Firstly this city doesn’t have much carbon footprint. And the reason for that is the natives of this place treat nature as god. According to them, saving the environment is akin to worship.

Apart from this, the city doesn’t have much hustle and bustle. People prefer to walk on foot rather than moving here and there on vehicles. Due to this reason, people living over have more patience as compared to the natives of other cities I have visited.

Moreover, the eatables available in the restaurants of Thimpu city are not only delicious but also healthy. The locals serve the food to the tourists in a consummate manner. The love and affection I have received from the people of this city are etched in my memories.

Conclude:

The world must have more such cities to make it a liveable place.
