Set against the dramatic scenery of the Himalaya, "Buttertea At Sunrise" is Britta Das's beautiful memoir, revealing hardships and happiness in a land almost untouched by the West. Often seen as a magical paradise at the end of the world, Bhutan is inaccessible to most travellers.

When Britta a young physiotherapist goes to work in a remote village hospital, her good intentions are put to the test amid monsoons, fleas and shocking conditions. But as she visits homes in the mountains and learns the mysteries of tantric Buddhism the country casts its enduring spell.

Gaining insights into the traditions of this mystical kingdom, she makes friends and falls in love. Bhutan will change her life forever.
