I am a water baby and always longed for a beach vacation. So when my friend suggested we go to Bhutan, I was sceptical at first. The country seemed exciting – an exquisite culture coupled with landscapes like no other. But was that enough? If you have your doubts about visiting Bhutan, you are at the right place! Here you will find everything you need to know in your quest to explore Bhutan.

Through my blogs on Bhutan, I take you through my journey. Right from the ultimate guide to visiting Bhutan, which answers all your questions about planning the trip. To location-specific blogs – Punakha, Gangtey – where I share my personal experience along with details on things to do and where to stay. What more? I have an exclusive Bhutanese food and drinks guide and the perfect 7-day itinerary! I have also touched upon why you need a guide while exploring Bhutan and how that should not affect your thoughts as an individual traveller.

So go ahead, explore Bhutan through my Words!
