Bhutan is a place filled with immense natural beauty, uncrowded and clean natural treks and amazing sense of being alive away from all the worries and tensions of the mortal world. Hey! Relax I’m no preacher, who is about to enlighten you about the different aspects of life. For that purpose, there is already enough said in the religious texts and stuff. I’m just a normal guy who likes to live his life to the fullest.
Rather, I would like you to take you on a lovely ride to the adventurous and unforgettable journey of your life. Situated deep in the valleys of the Hindu-Kush Mountains, The kingdom of Bhutan is the heaven on earth, situated remotely away from the rush hour life of the civilized world.
If you do intend to find out what you are made up of then, just pack your bags and go on a trekking expedition in the Himalayas. All you need is your passport some cash and don’t forget your warm clothes. Anyways, I recently came across a post on Medium, it was extremely useful in making my journey memorable and easy. The old granny tips were a lifesaver in the mountains.
