Away from bustling cities and crowded tourist places, Bhutan is the perfect place to spend a romantic getaway. It is a green country that has a pleasant atmosphere and mesmerizing landscapes. The country also houses many ancient sites that include fortresses and monasteries which are inimitable and unique in many ways. Travelers also enjoy the steep mountains and valleys which feels astonishing and offers a treat to eyes. The adventure sports and other thrilling activities also attract tourists to the place. Sagar Khare and his wife also wanted to visit this fantastic country, therefore, they decided to spend 7 Days in Bhutan on their honeymoon trip which they planned with TravelTriangle. Here’s what they have to say!
It was our honeymoon trip and we wanted to visit a place which has somewhat cold weather in the first half of May and also cooler than Mumbai, so it had to be somewhere in the northeast of India. But then a close relative suggested us to visit Bhutan who had visited it in the same month a couple of years back. Also, my wife being an architect is always fascinated by historical monuments & Bhutan has plenty of them, along with it, the place has a wonderful climate, admirable cleanliness, and is surrounded by natural beauty. Thus making it our first choice. Another best part is, Indian currency is accepted everywhere and all of this is what made spending 7 days in Bhutan sheer magic.

Beautiful Experiences That We Had During Our 7 Days In Bhutan
Our honeymoon in Bhutan was made special by the dramatic landscape and soothing climate that the place offers. Here is a glimpse of our memorable 7 days romantic trip to Bhutan.
1. Memorial Chorten and Buddha point: Unique places to visit
Memorial Chorten, also known as Thimphu Chorten is a stupa located on Doe Boom Lam is unlike most stupas in the world. The Memorial Chorten does not enshrine human remains but instead represents the mind of the Buddha. And at Buddha point, we witness the Buddha Dordenma statue in Thimphu at 51.5 meters is among the largest Buddha statues in the world. Located atop a hill in Kuensel Phodrang Nature Park, the statue is gilded in bronze and gold. Along with this, we also visited the textile museum located near the National Library. Established in 2001, the museum sustains and promotes the art of weaving. One can also buy books and textiles from the museum shop. The trip to Zangdok Palri Temple is also worth mentioning and our Bhutan 7 day trip cost covered all the sightseeing expenses.

The healthy and tasteful food enriched our experience and provided us with gratification.

Since we were planning to spend 7 days in Bhutan, shopping was something we obviously indulged in. 90% of our shopping was from Paro as our guide suggested that goods in Paro are authentic. We would suggest bargaining as some goods are overpriced. Buddhist praying flag is famous, thus if you happen to visit Bhutan then do buy them. Shopping in Paro is the perfect place to buy souvenirs and gifts for your friends and families. At the Paro market, one can find exclusive items that represent the tradition and culture of this place. We would like to mention that Bhutan is economical and our Bhutan 7 day trip cost that we had set out separately, covered it all.
