I din't really know much about Bhutan until very recently, except that one of my friends had visited there and that they have a beautiful queen. My sister-in-law and her husband, who are currently posted on the Bhutan-India border were the ones to put the idea into our head. Bhutan was never on my travel list, and i now look back to see how ignorant i had been of this little neighbor of ours.
Bhutan is an extraordinary country where culture thrives and traditions bloom. Its the Himalayan Kingdom. As we crossed the Bhutan Gate at Phuntoesling, the world literally morphed into a clean, calm and peaceful place right before our eyes. You cannot help but notice the stark difference between the two towns of Phutoesling, Bhutan and Jaigaon, India separated tangibly only by a Gate, but in reality by a gorge of culture. Our journey began by road from Phuntoesling to Paro, i had read alot about Paro in my online research just before the trip and i had great expectations. Paro did not disappoint. Its a beautiful wide valley nestled in the himalayas with paddy fields as far as you can see, the airport to one end and the Tiger's Nest to the other.
