We traveled from India and flied out from Paro and spent a few days in Thimphu during the last week of February this year. The border town of Phuentsholing was bustling with merchants coming and going between India and Bhutan, but once we left the city to Thimphu, the road was amazing, passing through high mountains and clean and clear air.
The hotel we stayed in Thimphu was clean and conveniently located in the center, near the bank and post office. Staff was polite and attentive. Despite the fear that dogs might bark at night, it was quiet and evening was pleasant after long walks in town during the day. We were busy visiting temples and souvenir shopping most of the time in Thimphu.
We just briefly passed by the city of Paro, before our departure. Next time, I would like to spend more time and explore the green valley of Paro and historical sites.
My family really enjoyed the whole trip which was well arranged from the beginning. The agent was kind enough to accommodate some changes to the itinerary so that we can try a different taste of Bhutan. What impressed me most was the nature, just how green the country is, hospitality and very unique culture, starting from the architecture to how city is organized. We forgot how fast time flew while walking around different places!
