bhutan

Hi there,

I am also doing the Land of the Thunder Dragon dpearting London on the 4th of April arriving at Bhutan the 5th of April. I am looking forward to the trip but I haven't looked properly about weather or dosh as thought had loads of time but now realise need to get my act together.

www.weather.co.uk gives a 10 day forecast but not always accurate

take care

Thanks Nowalking - looks quite warm over there, but also quite damp!

Hi there again,

I am hoping the weather will improve by next week. 

I found this link to lonely planet regarding money in Bhutan. I think pounds and dollars should be alright - will need to reread the information given by Exodus.

One week, two days to go - am now panicking as still haven't go those passport photos yet for all the visas -never mind there is always tomorrow and if not I will panic!!

Hi ,

Just realised when I clicked on your link, that you are doing a different trip to me - I am doing the Festivals of Bhutan. I got confused by the fact your trip is called the land of the thunder dragon which I thought was the other name for Bhutan!!

Well, it doesn't take a lot to confuse me!

I thought it was funny that your log in name is no walking when there's a three day trek involved in the trip! I suspect we'll all be in Paro on about the same day though so we could all be seeing each other anyway

 

 

Hi Katyjobo,

Yes we most prob will be in Paro on same day - I will be the one whinging that we are doing too much walking on a nonwalking holiday!! I avoid the footprint symbol like the plague when flicking through the brouchure.I do actually enjoy walking but have found on trips of this nature , most people don't walk but in reality hike at top speed to the destination whereas I prefer to amble and actually look around and admire the scenery.

If you are checking in at Heathrow on Saturday, I will be the one dressed for the Artic in a red puffa coat!

Hope you have a great trip !
