Stay options are very cheap and beautiful around punakha. Laidback life and routine can be observed even in the capital Thimphu. Felt generally very safe around. My budget was 38k for a 10 day trip which included food stay and travelling around.

I visited Bhutan for a short trip. It is beautiful and safe, and the locals have made every effort to preserve their culture. From my experience, Bhutan is a well-organized, clean, and peaceful country.

I visited Bhutan in 2019 and it was amazing. It was also the most extraordinary travel experience I have ever had. I felt very safe. I traveled there alone, but I always had a guide and a driver with me. I want to go back and see more.

If you ever get the chance to visit Bhutan - do it! The long flight is definitely worth it. Not too many tourists visit and you can really get a glimpse of their culture. People from Bhutan are extremely polite and friendly. They will spoil you very much when you go visit

We travelled as two women travellers. We had hired an taxi and we felt completely safe in the country. We never felt threatened or unsafe The food was yummy . all the yummy Datshi(Food made with Yak cheese) especially Emma Datshi which is made with chillies and cheese is my favourite. Of all the places , my favourite was our punakha stay away from the chaos . It's a beautiful place.
