Festivals of Nimalung Tshechu + Kurjey Tshechu tour was perfect in every way. Yes, the festivals were colorful and interesting, but it was the travel to and from which was something to with home about. Our guide cheeky knew exactly how many dzongs and monasteries. We card handle (punakha was out of this world).
Driving in Bhutan is a real skill and we felt safe in the hands of ugyen, even though mud, flood and landslides.
Every question we asked was answered from what is this plant? “to what are you dreams for Bhutan?” as answered.
Accommodations were of varying quality but good. The guide quickly learned our favorite. Foods and made sure we had them and more. Seven course much were the harm and we both gained weight. [use food at lunch-perhaps salad/fruit would be just fine]
Not matter what we asked, it was given, tours of incense factory, weaving, museums, finding seeds, rock hunting, hot stone batch, archery+dance competitions, painting school. We requested and it was done. The historical knowledge and price of Bhutan was tremendous. We were treated like queens at every tour. Having dinner with our driver and guide gave us a deeper understanding and admiration for this beautiful country.
