If you are a bird and wildlife lover, Bhutan is the best place to visit.
Me and my friends spent 21 days on a birding and cultural tour . It was perhaps one of the best vacation we could have. We stayed in Eco Camps next to the river, went on look out for rare white bellied heron on the riverside early in the morning, tried river rafting, local archery game and walked through ancient trails.
Our guide Dorji knew all the birds by sight and sound, and he knew where to find them. Our driver Mr. Chencho was talkative and very well informed on country's politics and above all excellent driver.
Had a wonderful time in Bhutan with our guide and driver .
I would also like to thank Mr.Vivek for having all the patience in customizing the tour for us.
