I had a wonderful stay in Bhutan thanks to our lovely guides Namgay and Ugyen. The itinerary was well planned and executed, all our hotels/resorts were comfortable and our trip unfolded seamlessly.
We had a chance to explore numerous peaceful temples, vibrant dzongs and two museums during our visit. We also hiked some nature trails and spent time in the wilderness.
The highlights of my trip were:
1. A snow man I built with the guides at Chele La pass (pictured below)
2. The cherry blossom trees of Bumthang valley
3. Watching the monks perform rituals at the temples
