Bhutan, Group travel

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.

Bhutan, Solo travel

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.
