River Vibes, Royal Views

#springitinerary Punakha is straight-up dreamy. It’s warmer than most of Bhutan, which already makes it feel kinda tropical and relaxed. But the real star? Punakha Dzong, this massive, jaw-dropping fortress right between two rivers. It’s like walking into a postcard. The whole district has a super chill vibe, with rice fields, swaying prayer flags, and cute little villages you’ll want to wander through forever. The suspension bridge nearby is also a fun stop, long, wobbly, and surrounded by mountain views. Everything just feels open and peaceful here, like time’s moving slower (in a good way). Whether you’re into hiking, temple hopping, or just sitting by the river with some tea, Punakha hits that sweet spot between culture and nature. It’s one of those places that makes you wanna stay longer than you planned. Easy, breezy, and seriously beautiful. Don’t skip it.
