Amazing Bhutan in 7 Days

It was an amazing trip covering Thimphu, Paro and Punakha. Bhumdra trekking in Paro was the toughest and coldest. But it was sheer adventure! My guide Issac Rai was very helpful and had excellent with the local knowledge. Very cheerful guy. My driver Kinley is a safe driver and patient enough! Overall it’s a highly recommended trip!

My trip Bhutan was nothing short of magical—equal parts peaceful retreat and cultural immersion. We had booked with Heavenly Bhutan and our itinerary was perfect Bhutan’s landscapes are absolutely breathtaking. From the lush valleys of Punakha to the dramatic peaks surrounding Paro, every turn of the road feels like a scene from a painting. The air is crisp, the rivers are crystal clear, and the forests seem to hum with quiet energy. Hiking up to Bumdra and then to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery (Taktsang) was a spiritual and physical highlight—challenging but completely worth it. The Bhutanese people are warm, gracious, and deeply connected to their heritage. There’s a calm, respectful vibe in daily life that’s hard to describe until you feel it. Our guide Karma, was excellent, explaining the legends and Buddhist principles and the philosophies behind the temples and monasteries. He also made sure our trip was well coordinated throughout. Our driver Amber was also great, clicking photos and videos on the way, adjusting to our schedule and making sure we reached our destinations. Bhutanese cuisine is simple but flavorful. Ema datshi (a spicy chili and cheese dish) and kewa datshi(chilli cheese and potato) are must try’s, but do ask for less spicy versions if you can’t handle the heat. Washrooms almost everywhere are incredibly neat and clean so that’s a huge plus!! Bhutan is a deeply spiritual country, and you feel that energy everywhere—from the fluttering prayer flags along mountain passes to the centuries-old dzongs and monasteries. Whether you’re religious or not, there’s a serene energy in Bhutan that invites you to slow down .

The trip and experience was wonderful. Most picturesque and tourist friendly country. Guide Ram was our guide for the tour. He has all knowledge of Bhutan and places visited and most courteous person.
