Wished I could park myself there forever

Kuzuzangpola, Sonam,

My trip has been most memorable. Kadin-Chhey for your wonderful itinerary and helpful advice. The sights and scenery – rivers, rapids, dzongs, monasteries, mountains and valleys – were spectacular. Punakha was lovely, as was Paro Valley.

Tenzin had been a wonderful guide. Appreciate him for his stories, jokes, and introducing me to the insider perspectives, practices and philosophies of Bhutanese culture. Tobgay was the most dependable driver – skilful, safe, obliging and professional at all times. Together they made a great company and were always willing to go the extra mile for me. It was a blessing for me to have their company on the trip.

I was also much impressed with the food – a really good spread and delicious too – a nice surprise as my expectations were simple when it came to food. Bhutanese hospitality has it that food is served in generous portions, and sometimes I feel bad not being able to finish them all. Often I would be satisfied with just red rice, and chilli with cheese. But I always got so much more, and ambience in the restaurants was lovely. At some places (eg. the restaurant at Lobesa that looks over the padi fields), I even wished I could park myself there forever.

A personal request here -- I’m tempted to do a second visit next time to the Central Circuit (eg. Gangtey, Trongsa, Bumthang) -- would you agree to put together another trip for me once more in future?

Kadin-Chhey once again for the great service of all, a service from the heart,
