From Nepal to Bhutan: A Journey to Earth’s Priciest Happy Land ✨
1. One of the world’s least developed nations, Bhutan is also called “the planet’s happiest country.” It welcomes just 7,500 visitors yearly, with a “minimum spend” — a $200 daily environmental fee (slated to drop to $100 by 2027) — making it one of Earth’s priciest destinations, out of reach for many budget travelers. 🌍 2. Flying from Nepal? Here’s a sample itinerary to inspire your trip: 3.: Gather in Kathmandu. Settle in, explore the city’s chaos and charm before your Bhutan adventure begins. 🛬 4. : Fly Kathmandu → Paro. Dive into Bhutan with a Paro tour: visit Thimphu’s Takin Zoo, Tashichho Dzong, and the vibrant Craft Market. 🦁 5. : Thimphu → Punakha. Drive through Dochula Pass, marvel at the 108 Chortens, visit Chimi Lhakhang, and explore the stunning Punakha Dzong. 🏯 6. : Punakha → Paro.
