Trongsa Resorts - Reviews and Rates

It was a restful night at Jimilang Tsho camp, and I emerged from the tent at 6:45am. It was a crisp morning and the cold hung in the air, since the sun could not fully penetrate the valley fo the towering mountains on each side. A quick wash-up with the basin of warm water provided by our guide and we sat for an awesome breakfast of french toast...

Bhutan is an amazing country with breathtaking nature. It is an easy country to travel through since everything is very well ( too well???) organized. It is an up market destination and you can see it everywhere - tour groups and buses.

I was having none of that so I sent him packing back to his missus 2 seats in front. Everybody knows on the flight from Kathmandu to Paro Bhutan you sit left han...

Day 5 - Bhutan (Thimpu - Trongsa): So, after having to get up super early, we set out to Trongsa - a 6 hour drive from Thimpu. The drive itself was beautiful, but excruitiatingly long! Luckily for us, the climate in Bhutan is fairly cool so we were ok without AC. CELEBRITY SIGHTING #3: On the drive to Trongsa, we were passed by a blue Range Rove...
