Drukgyel Dzong in Paro, Bhutan

shared his wisdom with us and brought us closer to the culture of Bhutan making our trip to Bhutan more meaningful. Again, thank you for making this journey a pleasant and memorable one. We have certainly loved our stay here in Bhutan. Bhutan is a must place for one to visit. It is a country which has a different culture and vibe to it. It is clean throughout and the reason is simply because it is imbibed in the culture and people of Bhutan. People live a simple life and our happy and it shows in the Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index which is a unique way to measure the happiness and well-being of the Bhutanese people. My guide was also knowledgeable which helped me gain more insights in their ways of living and Bhuddism too. All in all, it was a trip with lovely memories.

re information than my Bhutan guide. Guide Namgey was good on first day who had to rush for an emergency, only to be replaced by a bad guide. Their choice of hotels are not so good as they are away from the city in Thimphu and Paro. I liked Thimphu hotel though. Travel agents were helpful sometimes but I had to ask them driver and guide details multiple times which was frustrating. Sometimes there was poor or late response. I realised that the guide skipped places at the end of the tour and they stopped replying to my messages or calls without even acknowledging their mistake. They even blamed me for not informing earlier. I wasn't expecting to be cheated like this, otherwise I would have been cautious. It was my mistake ultimately according to them. They haven't acknowledged guide mistake till now. Please choose your travel agents carefully.

ourselves fully in the beauty and culture of this enchanting country. Our travel agent was outstanding, taking the time to understand our preferences and crafting a personalized itinerary that perfectly balanced sightseeing and relaxation. Every detail was meticulously planned, from our accommodation to our daily activities, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Our tour guide named "Kinkuu" , a remarkable woman, felt like a family member from the very first moment we met her. She was not only knowledgeable and professional but also warm and caring. Her passion for Bhutanese culture shone through in every interaction. She enriched our experience with fascinating stories and insights about local customs, making us feel connected to the heart of Bhutan. The cabs provided were comfortable and reliable, ensuring that our journeys through the breathtaking landscapes were as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. The roads may be winding, but the views along the way were nothing short of spectacular. We explored the vibrant capital city of Thimphu, where modernity meets tradition. The stunning architecture, such as the Tashichho Dzong, left us in awe. Wandering through the local markets, we encountered warm, welcoming people who were eager to share their culture. This sense of hospitality was a recurring theme throughout our trip. Punakha was another highlight, with its majestic dzong situated at the confluence of two rivers. The scenic beauty here is unparalleled, especially when surrounded by the lush green valleys and the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas. The hike to the Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten was invigorating, and the views from the top were absolutely worth it—an unforgettable sight that captured the essence of Bhutan. Finally, our visit to Paro was magical. The iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery, perched on a cliff, was a breathtaking trek that offered both a physical challenge and a spiritual reward. The serenity of the location, combined with the clear blue skies and crisp mountain air, made it a highlight of our journey. Throughout our travels, we were continually impressed by the pristine environment. Bhutan’s commitment to preserving its natural beauty is evident everywhere—from the clean streets to the unspoiled landscapes. The air was fresh, and the atmosphere was tranquil, providing a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In summary, my trip to Bhutan was a dream come true, and I wholeheartedly recommend this destination to anyone seeking adventure and serenity. With the help of our fantastic travel agent, our exceptional tour guide who felt like family, and the stunning locations of Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro, it was an experience I will cherish forever. Bhutan’s blend of natural beauty, rich culture, and warm hospitality is truly unmatched. 1) The remarkable and breathtaking trek to Tiger's nest 2) Stay at punakha, though the other hotels were better, but the location of the hotel and the view worth the money spent
