@ Aqua: thank you. i’m booking a copy for you already ;0)

@ KDphotoman: you’re right. it’s pretty much like the way you imagine it! i do hope it remains that way and they are able to preserve their natural heritage and their environment.

@ shravan: thanks! and all the best for the blog :)

@ Sunil: thanks!

@ Rohit: thanks a ton for the nice words! always nice to know at least someone’s reading all these words being churned out :) please do! will drop in at your blog too!

@ smitha: gosh, thanks for reminding me. not sure but life has been like a whirlwind the last few weeks with lots of things happening so i feel like i’m doing way too many things and not enough writing :) but will get back to more regular posting soon!

@ Lubna: kittie usually stays at home. for long stays i give a key to a friend who drops in and checks in on her. unfortunately, travelling in pets is rather difficult in this country. they have quite a few good kennels in bangalore. you can check with yashbans.

@ Vinod: yes, we did do that trek — it was amazing — one of my best experiences to go up there and come face to face with the goemba is something one can’t express in words!

@ akshat: sure, i’ll be writing a few more posts so keep track of them. if you need any more information, i found the lonely planet very useful and used it throughout the journey!

I am planning to go to Bhutan around April this year. It would be great if you could share a bit about how you went about preparing for your trip. Also where can we get more info about going to Bhutan.

Thanks,
Akshat

Did you visit it, after an arduous but exhilarating climb from Paro? That place is actually amazing. The best are the pigeons who have made that cold and almost forbidden place their home. Watching them fly there is an experience you don’t forget for a lifetime.
