We love Bhutan so much, it was a very wonderful trip

Dearest Sangay,

A very good morning to you- hope you have been well. My most sincere apologies for this delay in getting back to you as I went overseas again right after our Bhutan trip, which was very very wonderful to say the least.

Thank you so much Sangay, for doing such a good job of arranging everything for us, right from the very beginning right to the very end. We are so lucky to have you that even the tour guide (Ugyen Tenzin) and driver (Kesang Wangchuk) you assigned to us proved themselves to be very responsible, very dedicated and very capable. Because all four of our ages were pretty close, we got along on such great terms that after the ice was broken after the first lunch we had together on the same table (we invited them to sit with us), all four of us are more like old friends on a road trip, rather than 2 guests and their driver plus guide.

Ugyen was such a capable and resourceful guide that we had the chance of receiving blessings from the holy Je Khenpo Trulku Jigme Chhoedra in Punakha on our 3rd day for a grand total of 5 times!!! HAHAHAHA...we had so much fun chasing him around like chasing a star! That was definitely the highlight of our trip- and believe it or not, but we are so fortunate that we were just starting our trek, and just 20 minutes on the way up to Tango Monastery, we met the scholarly-looking and very young Gyalse Tenzin Rabgye descending as he just finished his 9years-long meditation...of course Jeff and I did not recognize him at all, and it was the very observant and sharp Ugyen and Kesang that pointed him out to us, and we just bent down, covered our noses and mouth while receiving his holy blessings. How lucky we are really!!! :)

Ugyen and Kesang took such great care of us throughout the whole trip, making sure we have enough water, and constantly checking on us in case we fall prey to altitude and motion sickness. But fortunately, we did not suffer from motion sickness at all as Kesang's driving was very careful, very safe and very skilful.

The hotels you picked for us, were all good and comfortable enough to have a good night's rest, but the shower and room's heating facilities can definitely be improved on. All the restaurants served up really delectable food and good polite service too, I am already missing the chili cheese and all the different types of spicy condiments we had on our trip!!

Bhutan is a beautiful country, made even more unforgettable by the kind warm hearts of the Druk-yul! We love Bhutan so much, and had such a stellar 1st impression of your home country that we are already planning for our next trip there! :)

For everything you planned for us, for everything Ugyen and Kesang took care of for us, a very big thank you to Druk Asia!

With so much gratitude,
Erica and Jeff
