On The Write Path

Bhutan

I'd prolly cross the border from India at Puntsholing and stay at Hotel Thuenpa Puenzhi so I could sort out permits. Great staff and about $20/2 nights. The resort in Paro is $1,000/2 nights.

Paro and Thimpu look accessible.

BUT... permits for Americans and others are $250-290/day so ... I think not. At $2,000 for one week I just can't afford it. Travelers from India, Maldives and Bengladesh are welcomed.

Anyhoo... sure wish I could because there are distinct customs and architecture.

And always food:

Ema Datshi – (chilies and cheese) If there is one national dish to eat when touring Bhutan, this is it. ...
Jasha Maroo or Maru – (spicy chicken) ...
Phaksha Paa – (Pork with Red Chilies) ...
Momos – (Dumplings) ...
Red Rice. ...

Just remember to refuse at first but never totally say no. Also wait until everyone is served and the host indicates it's okay to start eating!

I don't know about you but I'm needing some quiet time, we've been with a lot of people. There are many things available for you to explore. Discuss what works for you.

This prompt is for both 30 day and BCoF groups. So it will count if you have discussed different things in each post. EX. say in 30 day you discussed yoga and wellness treatment.For it to content you will need to discuss something different like maybe exploring the tibetan massage therapy and art classes or cooking classes.

Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the Himalayas’ eastern edge, is known for its monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys. In the High Himalayas, peaks such as 7,326m Jomolhari are popular trekking destinations. Paro Taktsang monastery (also known as Tiger’s Nest) clings to cliffs above the forested Paro Valley.
