Paro Taktsang– The Tigers Nest
If you have spent your life living in El Paso and you look at the architecture of Bhutan, you will notice the country looks like one big UTEP campus. Most of the architecture at UTEP was infact taken from the Bhutanese style which dots this entire landlocked small country, dubbed by many different websites as “The Happiest Country in the World.”
The Kingdom of Bhutan is landlocked between parts of India and Tibet and is the second least populous country in South Asia next to the Maldives. It has a long history of being along the silk road and was never colonized by any countries which means they developed a very extinct identity. With only 700,000 people in the country, this is the second least populous country in South Asia next to the Maldives.
This is perhaps the most expensive country to travel to as there is a daily rate set by the government of 250 USD per day. Tourism has gradually been rising over the past twenty years as more people are coming to visit this beautiful country.
As it is mandated by the government to use a guide and driver, a great person to use that was referred to me by a friend and I am referring to everyone is Rinzin Thunderbolt. He has been in the tourism industry since 2010 and his English is perfect and his history of the country and the different buildings is impressive. He can organize any type of tour and he can carefully select the best itinerary, hotels, and food that you desire based on your preferences. He will help cater to any clients needs and is probably one of the best guides I have ever had in my years of travel. If you ever go to Bhutan, he is your man to organize any type of tour with.
