We did a 5days cultural and spiritual tour with the Bhutan best inbound tour in March. Although we had a 4 hours delayed from Kathmandu due to low visibility , when we arrived Bhutan we forgot the 4 hours wait at the airport and we were calm and at peace once I stepped out of the plane.
I would like to express my gratitude to Namgay and Pema, they are professional and very informative with sharing the local culture with us. Always encouraging us to ask away whenever we feel the curiosity about local culture or religion.
We had a chance to stay at Leki’s farmhouse and it was such a wonderful experience to be truly involved in a local way of living. We were surrounded by rice field and woke up with fresh air. Had dinner around the wood burning heater and share a wonderful home cook meal that every vegetables were grown in the farm.
We also stayed a night at the Monastery near Thimphu. It was probably one of the most memorable experience I’ve had so far. After a 2.5 hours hike ,we arrived the misty and spiritual ground of a local monastery. It was a humbling experience and we are glad we were welcomed and well taken care of during our stay. A reminder for those who want to do monastery stay is to wash your hair and have a hot shower before you go! Hot water for shower is not guaranteed.
It has been a grounding and humbling experience in Bhutan and we are so grateful to have our experienced tour guide Namgay and driver Pema with us along the journey. They made sure we are safe and taken care of through out our stay.
I would 100% recommend Bhutan best inbound tour to anyone who want to visit Bhutan.
