Bhutan, a peaceful and happy country

I planned to visit this mysterious country of Bhutan 10 years ago, and finally made it happen 10 years later.🍑 As soon as I got off the plane, the luggage conveyor belt at the airport gave me a surprise—there’s a replica of Bhutan’s landmark in the middle of the conveyor belt (Picture 6).🥥 Tiger's Nest Monastery, Bhutan's most famous attraction.🍓 Punakha Dzong.🌽 I happened to catch a religious ceremony when visiting the Thimphu Buddha.🌽 I must praise my Bhutanese guide—he’s such a kind person.🍓 My travel partner and I are both into photography, each carrying a camera bag.🥕 Along the way, including during the hike up and down Tiger's Nest Monastery, our guide insisted on helping us carry the camera bags. 🍓 That’s no light load, especially since the hike up Tiger's Nest involves a vertical climb of 900 meters.🍓 Visa: The e-visa is very easy to get. 🌽 The visa fee is 40 USD, and in addition, you need to pay a sustainable development fee of 100 USD per night.🍓 For example, if you stay in a hotel for 3 nights, you’ll pay 300 USD.🍅 Accommodation: Bhutan has a good range of hotels, from a few hundred to over ten thousand yuan. 🥑 Even hotels costing a few hundred yuan a night are in decent condition.🍌 Flights: There are direct flights from Bangkok (Thailand), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Kathmandu (Nepal), etc.🍑 You can book directly on the website of Druk Air (Royal Bhutan Airlines).🥝 Tickets: Most attractions in Bhutan cost 500 Ngultrum per person (about 43 RMB), and Tiger's Nest Monastery costs 1000 Ngultrum per person🍉. You can also ride a horse for half the way up Tiger's Nest, with a one-way price of over 100 USD.🍎 Notes: Taking photos inside Bhutan’s monasteries is prohibited. 🍎 Smoking is banned nationwide, and it’s not allowed even in open areas in towns, but hotels all have smoking rooms. 🥒 When visiting monasteries, you need to wear long pants; for Tiger's Nest Monastery, long sleeves are also required.🍉 Bhutan has started to allow independent travel, but without a guide, you can’t enter monasteries and can only visit two cities. 🍐 Local guides and car rental services are very affordable.🍏 It’s recommended to travel with a guide to have a deeper understanding of Bhutan. 🍐 Choosing a good guide is important.🍊 #My
