The house you see in the picture is a traditional Bhutanese house.  All Bhutanese houses are constructed using natural raw materials. Concrete is now being used in the cities but 80 % of the population still follow the ancient methods. It is suprising to note that not a single nail is used in the construction of these houses. Free labour is provided by the community during the construction and the host has to provide only meals and beverages.
