    The flight to Paro is one of the most spectacular in the entire Himalayas. Flying along the Himalayan range from Kathmandu, the journey offers fascinating views and an exciting descent into the Kingdom. Bhutan’s first gift, as you disembark from the aircraft will be cool, clean fresh mountain air. After immigration formalities and baggage collection, you will be met by our representative, and afterward drive to Thimphu, the capital town of Bhutan with a route stop at Chuzom, the confluence of Thimphu and Paro rivers. Three different styles of stupas; Tibetan, Nepalese, and Bhutanese adorn this confluence. Shortly before reaching Chuzom, you will see on your left TschogangLhakhang, “the temple of the excellent horse”. It is a private temple, built in the 15th century, as the result of visitation from Balaha, the excellent horse, a manifestation of Chenrezig, the compassionate Buddha.

    On arrival in Thimphu, check into the hotel. The capital town of Bhutan and the center of Government, religion, and commerce, Thimphu is a unique city with an unusual mixture of modern development alongside ancient traditions. With a population of about 90,000, it is perhaps still the world’s only capital city without a traffic light.

Located a short drive from Thimphu city center, visitors can get a good overview of the Thimphu Valley from the Buddha Point (KuenselPhodrang). You can pay your obeisance and offer prayers to the Buddha, the largest statue in the country, and then walk around and take a glimpse of the valley.

    King's Memorial Chorten is continuously circumambulated by people, murmuring mantras and spinning their prayer wheels. Construction of this landmark was the idea of Bhutan’s third king, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuk (“the father of modern Bhutan”) who wished to erect a monument to world peace and prosperity. Completed in 1974 after his untimely death, it serves both as a memorial to the Late King and as a monument to peace.

    If the Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square has a unique combination of Malla and Shaha period architecture, Patan Durbar Square, on the other hand, reflects singular Malla architecture. In comparison to Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, it is smaller in size, but it comprises a number of unique architectural styles. Mahga Haiti, the sunken stone water spout, and the magnificent Krishna Temple, a Shikhara-style temple built of stone, are but a few examples of its opulence. Monuments, each a masterpiece, are clustered in a small area measuring roughly 160 by 70 meters.

Another unique feature of this temple is the bas-relief carvings on the walls and ceilings, depicting major scenes from the great Hindu epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The Krishna Temple of Patan Durbar Square is undoubtedly one of the finest stone structures in the Kathmandu Valley and is, thus, of considerable national importance.

Devi’s Waterfall/ Davis Waterfall is different from other falls in the country due to its natural phenomenon.

The cave sits across Davi's fall, and inside the cave, one can hear the thundering sound of water. As per the local beliefs, the cave was said to be discovered in the 16th century.

I Am Sending You A Review Of Our Trip - Tibet-Nepal-Bhutan

Dear Himal and Team,
As far as Tibet is concerned, I would like to tell you that we made a very good choice. The tour was very well organized, we liked the hotels very much and the guide and driver were very friendly and helpful. Tibet is a very beautiful country, The local people are very friendly.

Nepal is a great country and everything is very simple. The support we received from you and the whole team was just perfect. Everything was very well organized and we were very happy. Nepal certainly has its negative sides, but we didn't find it too bad after China and Tibet. We enjoyed Nepal and it is not out of the question that we will come back. Certainly through your agency.

Bhutan is a very, very beautiful country. The people are friendly and open to tourists. The staff always went out of their way to serve us very well and also served us a special menu. The rooms were clean and spacious.

So again, we can say, we enjoyed Bhutan very much and would recommend it to others at any time. Which, by the way, we have already done several times and also passed on your address :)

Yours sincerely,
Claudia Zita Bebi & Jurg Bebi
From Switzerland.
