- Join me on a hike to Bhutan's most iconic and sacred site, Tiger's Nest. The video also includes sightseeing in Paro Valley, a trip to Bhutan's capital Thimphu, and a visit to Punakha Dzong, the country's most majestic structure.

It's 50 years ago this month since I went to Bhutan for the first time. In those days Thimphu was just a village made up of mainly wooden buildings and was reached by a long road journey from the border town of Phuntsholing. Tourism had not started yet. In some places I went to I was the first European people had seen.The Tigers Nest I visited was destroyed in a fire in 1998 but has been amazingly rebuilt. What a feat or architecture and engineering. It was an unforgettable experience. Subsequent visits have never been able to match it.
The picnic and cocktails by the river look amazing. Love picnics in beautiful places.
Lest add into the bucket list, so beautiful 👍
I went up to the Tiger's Nest by horse for the livelihood of the people and came down by walking. It's really a breathtaking experience. Inside the temple we chant the AMITABHA SUTRA.
NAMO AMITABHA🙏🙏🙏
The entire country should be a UNESCO Heritage site. These sites shown were magnificently built when Europe and America were in the midst of the slave trade. The monastery built into the cliff of a mountain had to be supported by the Divine Cosmic Beings of Light. I love the colors of this country. When beautiful art is created by hand such as the tapestries/ rugs/ carpets there is no need to say “expensive” because they are truly worth whatever they ask.
That's the most beautiful picnic spot :) Thanks for the beautiful pleasant video.
Lovely 🌹 video I felt myself in the video
Good keep it up
Awesome 👍 thanks for the beautiful video covering Bhutan
The dzong is absolutely beautiful. Life is so much richer when your perspective is broadened, even through other people's experiences. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Happiest country on planet Earth!
Big fan of your channel and love the details you show in every videos. Your video gives many people a virtual tour of their dream destination & hotels. Waiting for next upload.
Love & peace.
God bless you.
Thank you for your kind comment
I agree. I've been focusing on similar content but in Africa. If you like this, pay a visit to my channel sometime.
@@justtinashe well, ok.. not really "similar content," LoLoL! 😄
but it will be interesting to see how your channel *grows* in content.. & hope to get to southern Africa someday.. and i heard *Bitcoin* is huge over there.. because.. the economy.. true??
my own mother has already visited there, a few years ago with friends - and after she was over 80 years old!😯
but it was an organized tour, so i worried a little less about my elderly mum traipsing off to a far away continent.. with her buddies.
anyway, you have a new subscriber, i'll check in, from time to time, see what your up to.

The best nostalgia of Bhutan is tiger nest hike ... been twice to tiger nest , once alone and second time wd my partner , the hike is so interesting , the steepness and walking among clouds the chilled air , then the ever strenuous stairs ,,,, but in the end the spectacular tiger nest ........ thanks for making me remember the hike again ... beautiful video .... paro dzong is also very nice ... Bhutan taught how to be disciplined how to be happy always .... Bhutan is reaLly the land of peace and happiness ... it’s really great to see u visit there .... next time when u visit Bhutan try to be in Haa , bumthang and Trongsa . Winter in Bhutan is just another thing , it’s just wow.
Thx for your kind comment
the Luxury Travel Expert thanks
Ah, my dream destination! Thank you so much for helping it seem more real!
Fascinating to see the weaving /paper making skills.Excellent insight/information LTE to a wonderful country
Fantastic views and locations.
this place has total unspoiled beauty...fabulous...
Beautiful nature and interesting culture. Peace and cocktail riverside. Cool. Thanks for sharing 😊
The landscape looks incredible and it truly amazes me how they constructed that monastery around the cave!
Thanks for the information as well! Definitely interested in travelling here one day!
I was thinking the same thing Luke re: construction.Amazing country which, like you would love to visit one day.
What stunning scenery, Bhutan is an amazing place......I’ve just added it to my itinerary for my next visit to India - whenever that might be given the current pandemic. Your channel definitely has the best videos both in quality and material - keep it up!!!
Oh Bhutan is my dream ... I hope one day I will hike there like you did
You are welcome!
Great video of the tourist attractions in Bhutan. Have a great time.
Very explorative and beautifully filmed!!
Beautiful! I feel all places and people are worthy to visit, but Bhutan’s extras puts it farther down on the places I’d like to visit. Regardless, the people seem so sweet, and I’d need to have space to bring back a few things. 😊
I'm addicted to you videos 😍😍
Oh wow was that you by the river having the picnic with the blue polo on nice to see your face if it was, able to put a face behind the videos. Breathtaking views again Butaine looks a magical place to go. X
i was wondering, too!, *LoLoL!!* 😄
because, was it just me who was surprised?? or, i thought, maybe i'm just very 'late' and had somehow missed seeing him in the videos before because it's normal?
but looks like you were just as surprised as i was, hahaha!!.. & don't know why i thought the *Luxury Travel* guy was a *Malaysian* business man who allowed us to 'follow him around' in between his exotic work destinations.. i'm so weird.🙄
What an amazing place to visit 👏
such a nice scenery in Bhutan! you can include the famous Dochula Pass next time.
I wanted to, but it was completely cloudy and misty during my vist :(
an another nice film...... 👌👌👌👌
Wonderful report and beautiful pictures. Thank youi
Thank you for your kind comment
Love it.
U really inspire me to visit Bhutan. Well done.
Beautiful scenes.
Amazing place, very quiet and pacefull. :D
Welcome to our land!
The land of Thunder dragon.
My idea of a pleasant day out is to drive along the Bolivar peninsula and ride the ferry to Galveston, Texas. I may need to rethink that.
I wish you could have been there with me in 1998. The cities are so much more commercial now unless places where the locals actually shop and live.
It cost to go Butan from Japan very much.But it will be very nice.
I really want to go Butan.
You can go through JICA or as Japanese teacher or in any of the exchange programs.
Another epic video. Love them all. What camera do you use ?
Will you ever reveal yourself to us?
I use a Canon G7X Mark II. I may reveal myself at one million subscribers ;)
Best program 😍🙏🇱🇰
Amazing video bro! We will be visiting Seychelles in 6 weeks already! It's one of your favorite destinations, right? ^^
That's correct. I love the Seychelles. Enjoy your trip!
@@luxurytravelexpert Thanks a lot!!

First i always thanks for his kind video and can’t beleive he does not use Gimbal !
I love your videos you do such a good job
Hi Bhutan looks like an interesting place to visit would you say. did you enjoy the hike to Tiger's nest ? Bet the views were pretty ! .
I loved Bhutan and the views of the Tiger's Nest along the hike are aweome
Amazing🤩
The video has so many beautiful parts; the ascent/descent/ascent trail and then the Tiger's nest, the National Memorial Chorten and the spinning , of the bells, the young woman, at 7:12, who is weaving the very intricate whatever it is, is amazing, and, at 8:58, the contrast, in lifestyles. The four older men dressed in traditional clothes vs the young bridge security guard, who seems bored and is hand drumming, on probably a 400 year old railing. I would love to know what song is running through his head.
Weekly, you take us to places that, from our normal perspective, might as well be on the far side of the moon. Thank you. You might try that day trip to Galveston. Roll the windows down, turn up the Beach Boys, ride the ferry, and stop, at Gaidos Seafood, on Seawall Blvd. Good stuff.
Thank youf or your very kind comment
Great vlogs
Beautiful. I am a little confused though -what's the difference between a 'dzong' and a Buddhist monastery?
nepal is like a mixture of chinese and indian..serene and peaceful
روعه
Can you please let us know the name of the soundtrack ? I love the background music
How many days needed to cover most of them.
try to come and visit North east India
having a pomegranate martini being mixed by a girl in national dress looked so incongruous- but looked delicious...
Thanks for posting BUT I shall never make this strenuous trek!!
Your video stability is awesome...which camera and gimbal do you use for your videos?
I use a Canon G7X Mark II (no gimbal)
Thank You for replying....and would you mind telling the name of the software you use to edit the videos??
Was it hard to leave?
How long would you recommend ?
10 days in total?
10 days would be perfect indeed. There is a Bhutan travel guide on my blog :-)
Any idea as to how they got the building materials up there?
they carried them.. how else?🙄 maybe using pack horses, to a point but after that, it's not rocket science.
@@roxanneworld11 Thank you for your smart reply!
Kadrin Chhe La!
(hope that's correct)
Thats correct.
😎😎😎😎😎
Are there any restrooms on the way up?
No 😉
does a guide have to be with you everywhere you go?
Vlum88 Yes, a guide accompanies tourists when they travel through Bhutan
some of those horses look like they need a veterinarian.. and a lot of love. 🙁
Are you still in India?
No ;-)
Gorgeous xoxo 💋
TOP TIP: Never get on the outside of the ponies coming the other way , always keep to the cliff wall side of them.
A Dream xoxo 💋
Went there last year and couldnt believe there was no Greggs or Costa coffee
Bhutan has displaced more than 200, 000 their own people of Nepalese descendants at gun point. Elderly, sick, disabled, pregnant women, children runway at night to their safety. They watched their home burnt, they weeped as they left their very sick loved ones, pets and their animals behind. Their loved ones died in prison just because of xenophobia.
Bhutan has inflicted pains and suffering that will last for generations to come. Still these disabled people long to go back home but it is impossible. Now they are displaced around the world, some couldn’t cope and have committed suicides. Most are leaving with trauma.
Batman Begins?
Please send food to those poor horses.
Budha: Attain spiritual ascension by letting go of the physical boundaries and material possessions!
Buddhists: We will honnor you by building you huge million dollar grand monuments and thousands of statues and cover them in gold!
Budha: facepalm
Better a million dollar statue than what the rest of the world usually spend on weapons, armaments, WMDs etc.
