Almost all of us dream of doing a foreign trip sometime and some of us have already done it. Just because we want it to be perfect, does not mean it is free from mistakes in reality. A major mistake we commit while planning a foreign trip is, we often overlook the gems that are closer to home, despite being situated in a foreign country. With all due respect to Switzerland, trust us when we say that Bhutan has some exquisite mountainous beauties in its bag. While we know it by the name Bhutan, the locals call it the Druk Yul. The word literally translates to “The land of the thunder dragon”. Home to many breathtaking landscapes, Bhutan. The adventurous Bhutan Tour is easily one of the best options if you want to experience the rich local culture and magnificent nature.

Bhutan is also one of the very few monarchies in the world, which makes the place even more interesting.

Here are some of the best places to visit while you’re in Bhutan Tour:

Thimphu:

It would be a shame if we did NOT start with the capital. Thimphu, as all of you already know, is the capital of Bhutan. However, just because it is a capital city, don’t assume it will be crowded, polluted, and messy. Thimphu is a beautiful hilltown, encircled with vibrant greenery and the sight of the beautiful Chu River, although many of us know this river by the name Raidak. It is the ultimate haven of Bhutanese heritage, culture, and lifestyle. Thimphu is home to many famous tourist spots such as Tango Monastery, Cheri Monastery, Motithang Takin Preserve, Dechencholing Palace, and many more historical and natural tourist attractions. If you want to taste the unique blend of heritage and modernity, you’ll find plenty of happening nightclubs, bars, and cafes here.

Punakha:

Oh! Where do I even begin to describe Punakha? Looking for peace? Visit Punakha Dzong, a fortress made in the 17th century. Want to soothe your eyes? taste the beauty of the Pho and Mo Chu Rivers. Want an adrenalin rush? Go white water rafting on those two rivers!! Whatever your soul is craving, Punakha has it!

Jigme Dorji National Park:

This large national park covers more than 3 districts of Bhutan and is one of the most popular wildlife destinations in Asia. It is extremely biodiverse as it is home to Snow leopards, Bengal Tigers, Himalayan Blue Sheep, Himalayan Black bears, Black Musk Deer, and also a number of avian species. It is the only place where you can see the national flower (Blue Poppy), The national animal (Takin), The national tree (Cypress), and the national bird (Raven) of Bhutan in one place!

Chomolhari:

When you chose Bhutan as your next destination, we already knew you are a mountain lover! Coming to Bhutan and not experiencing the best mountain views ever, sounds empty. Chomolhari will come to your rescue. It is only 50 km from Paro International Airport and has some breathtaking views of the mountain. The place is interestingly called Bride of Kanchenjunga as it lies very close to the latter. Buddhists believe it to be sacred as the home of Goddess Jomo, the protector of Bhutan.

Although there are so many places we don’t have the space to mention, we will never forget to mention the Tiger’s Nest in Paro.

Tiger’s nest:

Almost all of us have heard about it at least once. The rest of us have certainly seen this place in our phones or laptops as wallpapers. It is also known as the Takhsang Monastery and is considered to be one of the most sacred places in Bhutan. It was built in the 17th century when Buddhist Guru Rinpoche first meditated in this place. According to local legend, Guru Rinpoche was very tired and was carried to this place by a tiger who was his disciple who transformed into a tiger. The name Tiger’s Nest is derived from this legend. After you trek to almost 3200 meters above sea level, you are presented with the most magnificent views, beautiful nature, and a tranquil environment. The place will take away the tiredness, the exhaustion and leave you rejuvenated.
