Looks like it needs a visit real soon !! |
Thanks a lot.
My last visit to Bhutan was in 1993, that time i was a school kid. 23 years back i was impressed to see the cleanliness of this country and 23 years later it left the same impression in me yet again! Quote:

April will be a great time to visit Bhutan. I enjoyed a lush green Bhutan in monsoon, you can enjoy a colorful Bhutan in April with better roads. Quote:

One more thing, the video of Paru Chu is really amazing .. |
Thanks a ton. I have read your Bhutan travelogue before planning my trip. That's one great travelogue with very useful details. You do owe a thanks from me. For others who missed out reading your travelogue, here is the link - http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/travel...ss-bhutan.html
Regarding Phobjika valley, in monsoon i had to struggle to reach Punakha. Roads were bad and slushy in places. Locals told that even Innova's are refraining from visiting Phobjika valley at that time. Its best to venture when its dry. Bhutan East to West is in my cards. Quote:

With the risks involved many parents will not encourage their kids to travel via road during monsoon and here your parents are your biggest motivators and companions during this trip! Stay blessed! After reading your travelogue, Bhutan visit has become one of my to do list now in near future. All the very best for your future travels! |
Thanks a ton. Its great to know after reading my travelogue you want to visit Bhutan. Its an amazing place and definitely worth a visit. My travelogue can express just 10% of the true beauty of Bhutan! Quote:
Originally Posted by psurelia Once again, a superb travelogue with excellent photographs. Therefore, just like you, I feel I owe a few more trip to this beautiful little country. |
Thanks a lot. Lets plan a Bhutan end to end trip together in the future! Your Storm 4x4 will definitely boost up some more confidence in my Etios! Quote:

After a few days later, a merc GL was crushed by another boulder in the same route.
The best time to visit Bhutan is in the Autumn and Spring. There will be many festivals during those times and the weather and road conditions will be good as well. |
Thanks a ton and that's a very useful information you have shared. It will definitely help me and others to plan our future travels to Bhutan. Hope to meet you next time we visit your country! You do live in a beautiful country.
