A wonderful solo trip to Bhutan

Hi Sonam,

First of all, thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip for me. It's my first time in Bhutan and I had a fun time there. For city dweller like me, taking things slowly and enjoying the scenic route is hard to come by. Both Ugyen and Petma are really helpful and very friendly. It's a pity that I couldn't stay for a longer period in this beautiful country due to work commitment.

I especially love the view after hiking up the valley. I also highly recommend all visitors to Bhutan should go up to the Tiger's Nest. It's not easy for me to climb up the steep steps, but Ugyen took really good care of me, ensuring I'm all good along the way up. Hot Stone Bath at a farmhouse was an interesting experience.

However, I do have some doubts on the price quoted to me. E.g. I was asked for 1000 Nu for hiring the horse to go up Tiger's Nest cafeteria but I heard other visitors paid 600 Nu or US$10.

Also, It would be better if my return flight to Singapore is not arranged that early so I can rest better and had the time to catch a quick breakfast before departure. As for hotels, excellent service in both Norbuling and Zhiwa Ling but in Norbuling, the bath facilities needs further improvement.

Certainly I will visit Bhutan again and recommend Druk Asia to others!

Last but not least, can you pls help me check if Ugyen helped to post out my postcards already as I depart very early on Monday. My friends and family are excited to receive it soon. Thanks!

Cheers,
Shieleen
