Solo in Punakha Bhutan | Things to Do | Bhutan Travel Guide | Bhutan Series Ep 3 | Tanya Khanijow

Here’s presenting the Third part of the Bhutan Series in Punakha. I went to Punakha after thimphu, as first part of my road trip in the country. This video is in collaboration with Zinigo
Zinigo organises trips to Bhutan, Sikkim, Meghalaya, to some really off beat locations. They also have special packages for North East India in case you're planning a trip anywhere. With me they came up with a special discount code for all of you: TANYA@BHUTAN . Those who book through this would get flat INR 2000 off on all their package cost. To use the coupon code, send a mail to [e-mail]
Hope this helps you plan your trip.
The entire budget of my Bhutan trip was close to INR 25-30k. You can carry cash everywhere in Indian currency in Bhutan as it is accepted. Some things about Paro below:
** If you need a driver in Bhutan, you may contact Mr. Yonten. His number is [phone]. You can also reach out to Mr. Somraj Chettri: [phone].
** If you are visiting Bhutan, I would highly advice you to get a local sim for contacting tour agencies or driver. A local sim will be available for INR 200 at Phuntsholing.
** I stayed in Punakha at Damchen Resort
Let me know in comments if you have any more questions.

Uploaded this video from Kathmandu after completing 14 days of an amazing Everest Base Camp Trek! I reached EBC on 3rd June and also reached the summit of Kala Patthar the next day at 19,100 ft! These have been some super hectic climbing days with no internet. But glad to be back. 😊

[@kishanchettry]

Take care yourself! God bless you 🤗

I'm one of your subscriber from Nepal actually. congrats for the EBC trek! definitely looking forward to that video!

Mr. Somraj look like Wong (dr. Strange).👍😊

[@NimaYoezer]

When you talked about the male and the female rivers at punakha, you adressed the male river as mo chhu and the female river as pho chhu which is exactly opposite. 'Pho' means male and 'Mo' means female on our local dialect. I'm sorry to say but I could not resist to correct it as a Bhutanese, that I am also responsible to give correct info.

[@vaibhavsinha1481]

Thank you sir :)

Loved it😀 Irony is I'm from Bhutan but I'm watching it from Dehradun India

[@nirupachadha6345]

I love your enthusiasm. I wish i was born in your era. I am a travel person more than accumulating wealth. Although i worked in a an airline& traveled around the Globe for 15 years my thirst for travel seems unquenchable. So now i am doing India & the neighbor ing countries. Btw heading for Bhutan tiday. 63 & going great 😜

Great efforts madam....i lived in SIKKIM for 10 years and whenever i miss SIKKIM i see your videos which are mostly from North East India. While seeing your video i feel like as if i am back to SIKKIM again and my eyes gets filled with tears (as i MISS this place a lot). Let me tell you the way you you make video you make people addicted.....may god bless you madam

I have been to Bhutan, even my dp it's from Thimpu itself. I am so emotionally attached to this place that I keep watching this series again and again. I hope post corona I will be able to revisit this piece of heaven💛.

Phochhu is male river and Mochhu is female river and the switch in winter-summer capital of the country between Punakha and Thimphu, respectively, used to take place in olden days. Thimphu is now the only all time capital district of Bhutan.

[@dons618]

Hardly anyone honks in Bhutan.... everyone in their lane....and every car stops at a zebra crossing to allow pedestrians crossing the road... It's something that I will definitely take back home when I drive

Discipline at its best.

@@rohitb405 true.... I even saw 3 yr old kids throwing their plastic ice cream wrapper in the waste bin... With no adult telling them that they had to do it. Discipline is very much ingrained in them.

Mr Somraj's vlog part was interesting! Loved seeing this series :)

[@onehp3034]

Bhutan- The Place of Peace We ride from Darjeeling (Sonada) to Bhutan (Thimphu) through the roads covered with fog and mist,tackling freezing wind ,Gliding past mountains that seem to insulate Bhutan from outside world. Bhutan is a small kingdom steeped in tradition many of the people still wear the traditional Bhutanese dress and the traditional culture is something they are keen to preserve. Bhutan's people are so humble and their selfless behavior differs from the rest of the world. Traffic rules are way different from our country but some how we managed it Hehehehehe (Secret). As our tour began in Thimphu I immediately noticed the unique architecture all the houses,shops and govt building are built in the traditional Bhutanese way which troubles us to find the govt offices LOL.😂 We spent couple of nights on Thimphu and heads to Paro. The tour took a more energetic turn as we are able to see the real beauty of Countryside of Bhutan,at every turn there is a mountain view,flowing river beside the roads it felt like I was in heaven. The next day we took a time to trek up to one of the most famous icon of Bhutan the beautiful Tiger Nest wondering how it is built in a Rock mountain .As we prepare to leave ,wanting more days to spend longer there but considering myself lucky to have been somewhere so unique. AFter Bhutan trip my perspective of spending my regular life has changed...THANK YOU BHUTAN WILL SEE YOU AGAIN...

[@samarroy7152]

Very interesting to travel with Tanya to Bhutan trip. She explained so well as if I was physically going to places in Bhutan. Thanks again as I am yet to visit Bhutan with my wife.
