Ravi's Trip to Paro, Bhutan, Eastern Bhutan, Punakha, Thimphu

5 /5

(Written on 30 Nov, 2024)

Me and my wife both senior citizens took the Bhutan trip through Sri Balaji Tours and Travels. Right from the moment we stepped out at Bagdogra airport where a car was waiting to pick us up we didn't (Read More) have to worry about anything. On arrival at Jaigaon Mr Omkar took us thru immigration and checked us in at the hotel in Phuntsholing. Next morning we drove to Thimphu in a comfortable six seater suv with our guide Mr Gem who was indeed a real gem with his knowledge of his country and his helpful nature. During the drive he kept us engaged with his inputs about Bhutan, its culture and people and had ready answers to our queries. On the six day tour our stay was very comfortable in very good hotels and also food was excellent.( Breakfast and dinner being part of the package). During lunch our guide gave us a taste of different Bhutanese food every day. The itinerary was very relaxed, covering all places. In addition our guide also gave us the experience of watching an archery competition and dart throwing too. We also stopped at markets, scenic places and riversides whenever we felt like. Our guide helped us with shopping too. Mr Tenzing was an excellent driver and with him and the guide with us we felt very safe and carefree. In short the entire tour was a breeze with excellent food and very good stay everywhere and the itinerary was very well planned. Thanks to Mr Omkar and RajGupta from pick up at airport at Bagdogra and drop back on the 7th day everything went very well and I would say we got more than what we expected in terms of experience and value for money spent.

Hemant's Trip to Paro, Bumthang, Bhutan, Phobjikha Valley, Thimphu, Punakha

5 /5

(Written on 19 Nov, 2024)

Tour went smoothly no complaint
About Punakha Tourism: Punakha, a district in Bhutan, is a beautiful and fertile valley at an elevation of 1200m, surrounded by stunning views of the Himalayas. It is known for its excellent terrain for rice cultivation, thanks to the convergence of two rivers - Po Chhu and Mo Chhu. The place can be reached within 3 hours from Thimphu and is warmer than other nearby places. With plenty of slopes, Punakha is ideal for trekking and mountain biking. In addition, the Po Chhu River offers an exciting river rafting experience. The second oldest dzong of Bhutan, the Punakha Dzong, is located here and is an architectural marvel. 

Best Experiences in Punakh

  • White water rafting: White water rafting in Punakha is a thrilling experience! You get to navigate through the choppy waters of the Pho Chu and Mo Chu rivers, fed by the melting Himalayan glaciers. The rapids can get intense; you must work together to paddle through them as a team. However, it's an adrenaline rush as the icy water splashes against your face and the wind whips through your hair. Plus, the scenic views of the surrounding valleys and mountains are breathtaking! It's an adventure worth trying if you're excited and want to uniquely experience the beauty of Bhutan's natural landscapes.
  • Hiking to Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten: If you're up for a scenic and challenging hike, the Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten is worth checking out! The hike takes you through lush forests and over suspension bridges, and the stunning views of the Punakha Valley are breathtaking. Once you reach the Chorten, the intricate architecture and design of the temple are impressive. It's not an easy hike, as you'll have to navigate some steep inclines and stairs, but the satisfaction when you reach the top is worth it. It's a great way to experience Bhutan's natural beauty and culture at the same time.
  • Walk across the Punakha Suspension Bridge: Walking across the Punakha Suspension Bridge is an experience unlike any other! As you step onto the bridge, you feel the wooden planks creaking beneath your feet and the bridge's sway as it crosses the rushing Pho Chu River. The views from the bridge are stunning, with lush green forests and mountains all around you. Crossing the bridge can be a little nerve-wracking, especially if you're afraid of heights, but the experience's thrill is worth it! Plus, there's a real camaraderie as you cross the bridge alongside other visitors, all united by a sense of adventure and wonder at the beauty of Bhutan's landscapes. It's a bucket list experience you will remember sometime soon!
  • Take a guided tour of Chimi Lhakhang: Taking a guided tour of Chimi Lhakhang is an eye-opening experience that gives you a glimpse into Bhutan's unique cultural and religious practices. Also known as the "Temple of Fertility," the Chimi Lhakhang is a revered site for locals and tourists alike. The temple is in a picturesque village, and the walk there is beautiful, with fields of crops and traditional houses dotting the landscape. Once you reach the temple, you'll see colorful murals and traditional Bhutanese architecture, including phalluses painted on the walls - a symbol of fertility and good luck. The guide will explain the significance of the phalluses and the temple's connection to Bhutanese folklore. It's a fascinating place to visit, and the guide's explanations make it even more meaningful. Plus, the friendly and welcoming attitude of the locals is a real highlight of the experience.
  • Trekking in Jigme Dorji National Park: If you're up for a real adventure, then trekking in Jigme Dorji National Park is an experience that's hard to beat! The park is home to some of Bhutan's most stunning natural landscapes. Trekking through the park is a great way to get up close to the natural beauty of Bhutan as you hike through mountain passes and across rushing streams. Along the way, you'll likely encounter various wildlife, from playful monkeys to majestic deer. It's a true adventure that will test your limits and leave you with unforgettable moments.
