It has been two months since I first set out for this life changing and unforgettable trip to Bhutan

Kuzu Zangpola!

It has been two months since I first set out for this life changing and unforgettable trip to Bhutan. It still fills me with chills thinking about it. Flying into Paro International was an experience in itself, gliding through the mountains and the runway appearing right under the plane. I did feel overwhelmed finally reaching my destination as I was full of anticipation and excitement as I was “finally here”. What can I say about Bhutan, it is truly and amazing and beautiful country.

I think I can summarise it into the following; Culture and Beauty.

Culture: It is amazing to see how modernised and progressive the country is but still routed in traditions. Architecture was a treat to look at all over Bhutan. From Lhakhangs to Dzongs, the buildings were pleasing to behold. I was very lucky to witness the Thimphu Tshechu while we traveling from Punakha to Bumthang. It was a kaleidoscope of colours and seeing a mask dance was a sight I will not forget. Learning about how Bhuddism spread across Bhutan and seeing where it originated from in Bumthang was insightful. I was always at calm when visiting Lhakangs.

Beauty: Beauty in the country itself, its nature how each location is different from the next. It was breath taking. The beauty in people, how they are kind and welcoming, I always felt accepted and welcome wherever I went. I even was stopped by a local in Thimphu on one of the mornings to have a conversation while he was on his way to work! Beauty in the buildings, the art the murals. Beauty in how culture and modernisation has melded seamlessly. Beautiful doesn’t do this rich country justice as it was always amazing every step of the way.

My guide, Tashi (Tobgay), was enthusiastic and passionate about his job. I did not once feel like I was touring the country, it was more of a trip cross country amongst friends. I learnt a lot from him during this trip and he was a very good help and patient with me as we went along. It was a fun and amazing trip and I enjoyed the jokes and comfortable atmosphere I was travelling with.

Our driver Phub (Dorji) was a force to be reckoned with. He made sure we travelled safely and comfortably. I never once felt concerned, even while traveling at night and even in the snow. I always was at ease. He made sure we reached the top of Chele La despite not being able to travel to Haa.(Where I got to experience snowfall for the first time). I was in the country from 5th to 15th January 2025 and this was an amazing trip. I would like to thank DrukAsia/Soultrips for accommodating and assisting with my booking.

I would also like to thank Tashi and Phub, without whom, I would not have had such an amazing and unforgettable journey across the trip. From the bottom of my heart, Kadrinchey La!
