There is a place on earth that even the most seasoned travelers consider a privilege to visit. Although, it is voted one of the world's top travel destination, very few make it. This is Drukyul, Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Bhutan was in the bucket list from the time my senior visited and had shared some great moments there. Though planning was done months back ,we had not booked any tickets as it was tough to convince Sush about the place.

Phuentsholing is the border town of Bhutan and Jaigaon is the border town of India. Some of the ways to reach Bhutan , a)Travel by Druk Air flight from Kolkata, Delhi, Singapore, Katmandu and other places to Paro. The route from Katmandu will get a glimpse of the Mt. Everest on a clear day. The flights are super expensive as there are limited flights and
