Day 1: Beginning of Bhutanese Adventure

Post that, we began our journey to Thimphu. The drive was completely beautiful and worth the entire effort. We reached Thimphu in the evening. Exhausted by the journey, we checked into our hotel and went to sleep to revive our energies for the next day.

We checked into our hotel in Paro around afternoon. Rest of the day, we visited the street markets around the area and tried out the local cuisine.
Day 5: Exploring Chele La Pass

Day 6: Back Home Too Soon
Sad to leave, we got onto our cab to make our way back to Hasimara and then home.
Weather In Bhutan
When it comes to weather, Bhutan always has a nip in the air. The best time to visit Bhutan is during the months of March to May when the valley is in full bloom. Autumn comes from October to November which is also a nice time to plan a trip to this country.
