Beautiful Paro Valley, Bhutan.

03/02/2021

We recently had the privilege to go and visit the Naksel hotel in the mountains of Bhutan! Our stay here was absolutely incredible with the most amazing views over Paro Valley. Definitely worth visiting on your stay here within Bhutan. This place is idyllic and right off close to Paro International Airport. Bhutan is closed for all tourism at the moment, but please follow the posts as we trust to see the country open later this year.

See the picture below showing the incredible view directly from your own bedroom window.

We agree !
Our ❤ for chillies can be tasted in every curry thats made.

Every dish in the Bhutanese cuisine has copious amount of Chillies. People don’t touch the dish if it’s not spicy enough as eating Chillies are deeply rooted in our culture.

Read up !

Bhutan is one of the most expensive countries in the world to visit, charging a tax (or fee) of $250 per person per day.

WHY DO THEY DO THIS?

In this video, I explain the reasoning behind why the Bhutanese government charges this much, and why I strongly believe that it's worth spending the money to visit!

Have you ever been to Bhutan? Are you planning to go? Stay tuned for tomorrow, as we're going to hike up to the famous Tiger's Nest!

Bhutan tempts tourists with its regal traditions

Peeping through the viewfinder of my camera, snapping repeatedly at the dramatic mountain scene in front of me, the thin, oxygen-depleted air rasped against my larynx. In the distance, an ornate Buddhist temple glinted next to an icy river, and further beyond, a burgundy and silver gilded palace clu…

The Kingdom of Bhutan has become an unparalleled carbon sink – absorbing three times more CO2 emissions than its 700,000 citizens produce.

At the Paris Climate Talks, the Himalayan Kingdom pledged to keep its forests intact to help the rest of the world combat climate change.

On top of that Bhutan has pledged to reforest its land even further. Last summer, it set a world record for the most trees planted in one hour – nearly 50,000.

Share this news to say a huge "thank you" to Bhutan!

Tshering Tobgay

Excitement is in the air, as all of Bhutan prepare to celebrate the Great Fourth's 60th birth anniversary on 11th of November. I stopped by Changlimithang stadium this morning to see the preparations there, and came across Aum Dema, 84 years, practicing a dance with her friends, all 60 years and older, all thoroughly enjoying themselves.
