Solo travel in Bhutan
I had a precious and amazing time in Bhutan, a country which has been on my bucket list for a long time. I’m blessed with Tashi (guide) and Mr Amazing Khuks (driver). Both of them were warm and friendly from the get-go and we were matched in terms of frequency. They took great care of me, even making sure that I get to try one fruit per day in Bhutan! Tashi - an extremely earnest guide who is really genuine, knowledgeable and resourceful. He patiently explained to me the history and background of every place we visited. He is always fighting to carry my small backpack for me, which wasn’t heavy at all. He carried my tripod up the Tiger’s Nest hike for me, just so that the photography enthusiast in me could capture nice sceneries. Knowing that I like cheesecake, he bought one the day before the hike so that I could have it as a post-hike reward at the cafe. He was always checking in on me and making sure that I felt comfortable, that I could stop anywhere I want to take photos. He was also able to get me a Kira last minute just so that the three of us could take one photo with us in Bhutan’s national dress together. Mr. Amazing Khuks - a free-spirited driver who has great taste in music and great humour. The long drives were always filled with great music and the three of us singing. He is always candid to share about himself, and we had great conversations together and even sang a song at a karaoke pub on the last night in Bhutan. It was great being around someone who knows how to have fun and can always crack a joke. Bhutan is such a spiritual place and Bhutanese are such contented people. I had a great time here and would definitely recommended DrukAsia to anyone who would like to visit Bhutan!
