Wonderful week tour of Bhutan
Wonderful week tour of Bhutan. I was amazed by the architecture, culture, clothing and lovely people. My guide and driver (Sonam1 and Sonam2, they share the same first name) were excellent and took care of me everywhere we went. Loved learning about Bhutan’s GNH, Buddhist culture and spirituality through comprehensive explanations with guide, Sonam. The itinerary covers great diversity, showcasing the dzongs (fortress/manastery), stupas and mandalas, prayer wheels, a living museum of interesting cultural shows, animals (takins, cranes and monkeys), day hikes through forests and rice paddies, healthy and tasty local food. My driver, Sonam, was always attentive to opening doors and carrying my things, showing a lot of courtesy to other vehicles and driving very safely on winding and hilly terrain. Service and comfort was excellent throughout.
