Thank you, allset2travel

. I had been wanting to visit Bhutan for a while too, but have been putting it off too. Glad I finally found an excuse to go though

Thank you so much for taking us along ^^

Many thanks, Madone59:). I can just imagine Mr. Bourdain really enjoying himself in Bhutan, just the right mix of exotic culture and cuisine

Thanks, sl00001

. The high altitude and lots of hills must not leave too much room for error. I was half hoping there would be some fog and I would get to spend an extra day in the country too

We had lots of amazing trips up to around 2007 to China but haven't been back since. Did consider it for later this year but the prices of Visa's for UK citizens put us off. Hopefully they will come back down to the previous levels.

I've got a trip to Beijing coming up so will hopefully find some more spicy regional cuisine then

Thanks, HawaiiTrvlr

The hike up was fairly relaxed and about 90 minutes to get from the bottom to the monastery with plenty of photo stops. There are horses to take you up the first and most difficult half if you needed. We didn't get to see the Royal family unfortunately.
