Backpacking around Bhutan – Snippets from our travel journal

 Day 1: The Journey

A lot of people choose to fly to Paro while going to Bhutan. Understandable considering the amount of time that can be saved. But given a choice we would always prefer to take a train from NJP to Hashimara and cross the border on foot.

Why, you may ask….

The train ride from NJP to Hashimara passes through lush green forest and crosses several rivers and tiny villages. It’s a refreshing journey that cannot be missed.

You can observe the stark difference between India and Bhutan at the border. And it’s always fun to know that you can be in 2 countries at the same time ( Hint: put one foot on Indian side and the other on the Bhutanese side)

The drive from the border to Thimphu is divine as you navigate through untouched, pristine Himalayas.
