The butterflies were amazing! I saw them mostly in the east but it could just have had to do with the climate and time of year. I think there are probably more butterflies in the warmer months of summer.
Not sure about the king and queen. But I have the impression that he is very down to earth. Whenever there is a natural disaster or fire he is always there to lend his moral support as well as some money to help the victims. So they may be out and about in Thimphu.
I hinted Bhutan would have some of the best honey just by looking at your pictures. The problem is how to take it on the planes and out of the country with all the restrictions concerning liquids. It would have to go as checked baggage with the risk of having it mishandled and broken.
The butterflies look wonderful.
I have been following Their Majesties the King and Queen of Bhutan ever since the time the new King had announced his marriage to this beautiful young Bhutanese named Jetsun Pema, the daughter of an airline captain!

They seem to be really wonderful. A match made in Heaven. I would not want to go to Bhutan without meeting them and bringing them a gift.
