Bhutan is in my travel bucket list. Finally I put my plan to action. So I engaged DrukAsia and Soultrip to plan for my trip. Lhendup (guide) and Kencho (driver) are taking good care of me and my group. As my group are all introverts, Lhendup tried to warm us up with riddles and small talks. Kencho driving skill is excellent. Both of them are fun people. Hopefully to meet them again when I re-visit Bhutan. Read More »
