Bhutan is an abode of God and truly reflects the beauty of Himalaya. The country has remained rather untouched as the government has made consistent attempts to keep it clean and maintained its transient beauty. If you are genuinely keen to explore the beauty of Himalaya, you cannot miss a trip to this country. Ideally, a seven-day trip to Bhutan provides an opportunity to visit all the places that are part of the exotic culture and tradition of this country. You can take a flight to Paro and travel to Thimphu for 1.5 hours as part of the first step. However, do not forget to visit the National Museum in Paro also known as ParoDzong that overlooks Paro Chu River.
