    The 4 day Bhutan-highlight trip comprised of visits to the historical cities of Paro, Thimphu and a day-trek to Paro Taktsang. During this trip we got a chance to visit fortresses, local monasteries, charming villages, national museum and a fresh produce market. The trip highlight was a chance to meditate at Guru Rinpoche’s site in the Dochula Pass and an ultimate experience of the Guru’s presence at Paro Taktsang. The tall Himalayas, vast vistas, local people, food, culture, sights and sounds was an absolute immersive experience. This is first time that we did not miss or think of getting back home. And lastly, the trip was even more so memorable due to Suman (our local minivan driver), Lobzang (our expert guide) and Nawang (our accommodating host). Suman, Lobzang and Nawang made a special note of giving extra care to my elderly parents. Thank you, Bhutan. I will return!

    Day 1: Paro - Thimphu The journey began with a visit to the historic Tachogang Lhakhang Bridge in Tamchogang, where an ancient iron chain bridge showcases Bhutan's rich heritage. Next, we explored the National Memorial Chorten in Thimphu, observing elderly locals as they offered their prayers and circumambulated the stupa. We concluded the day with a visit to Tashichho Dzong, also known as the "fortress of the glorious religion," housing the central monk body and the main secretariat building. Day 2: Thimphu - Punakha Our adventure continued with a trip to the iconic Buddha Dordenma at Kuensel Phodrang, offering breathtaking views of Thimphu Valley and the surrounding mountains. The Motithang Takin Preserve allowed us to witness Bhutan's unique national animal, the Takin. En route to Punakha, we marveled at the incredible Himalayan peaks from the Dochu-La Pass and the 108 stupas of Druk Wangyel Chorten. The day ended with a visit to the Chimi Lhakhang Temple, a place of fertility blessed by the eccentric Lam Drukpa Kuenley. Day 3: Punakha - Paro Our journey took us to the picturesque Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, reached after a 45-minute hike, offering breathtaking views of rice terraces along the river. We then explored the majestic Punakha Dzong, situated between the Pho Chu and Mo Chu rivers. Day 4: Paro The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the hike to Taktsang Monastery, or the "Tiger's Nest," a stunning structure perched on a cliff in the upper Paro Valley. This sacred site was established by Guru Rinpoche in the 8th Century. We also visited Paro Dzong, a historical fortress that provided a glimpse into Bhutan's rich cultural and religious history. Day 5: Departure from Paro Our journey through Bhutan was truly a captivating experience, filled with natural beauty, cultural insights, and the warm hospitality of the Bhutanese people. This itinerary provided a well-rounded exploration of this enchanting Himalayan kingdom. During my memorable journey through Bhutan, I had the privilege of being accompanied by an exceptional guide, Nim Dem, and an excellent driver, Chorten. Traveling alone, it was particularly reassuring and enriching to have a female guide. Nim Dam's knowledge and enthusiasm added depth to the entire experience. Nim Dem's extensive expertise (10+ years) was evident as she shared her insights and tailored the itinerary to offer a truly unique adventure. Her creative ideas, such as arranging a white river rafting experience and guiding us to the fertility temple, added delightful and unexpected dimensions to the journey. These experiences allowed me to connect with Bhutan's culture and nature in a profound and unforgettable way. The presence of Nim Dem and Chorten not only ensured the trip's smooth logistics but also enhanced the overall journey by providing insights into Bhutan's culture, history, and natural beauty. Their professionalism and warm hospitality made this Bhutan exploration an even more rewarding and enjoyable experience.
