Knowing full well that this was a good opportunity to capture them, I ran ahead of my group, as the lighting was nice and dramatic.\u00a0 Happily, I managed to snap a couple shots off before they walked past. What&#8217;s great about Bhutan is the sheer beauty and photo-ops at every corner. Unfortunately, you must be accompanied during your entire stay in Bhutan, government rules. Luckily however, it&#8217;s a great way to see the country since your guide and driver are always at your beck and call, are extremely knowledgable, and are always striving for you to have a great experience no matter what. If you see a photo op on the side of the road, they will gladly stop! We had them stop actually quite often. We are not used to being &#8216;pampered&#8217; on our trips, and in fact we are usually quite uncomfortable and &#8216;unguided&#8217; most of the time, since we tend to travel on a budget. However, Bhutan was an exception for us and since we had no choice but to have a guide, we embraced it with loving arms! If you&#8217;re even remotely interested in visiting Bhutan, please message me and I will gladly give you all the details.
