Deepthi's 8 days trip to Thimphu

The trip was planned very end to end without any hassles. But the guide was rigid. He was not ready to work before 9 and beyond 5. He was discouraging us from visiting places. Also he was skipping many places in the itenary. The driver was a good guy. The beauty of Bhuthan and the culture of that place
