Did you ever see water so blue it was like staring at the sky? That's what we discovered in Bhutan! The Bhutan rivers have an energy that defies explanation - they're raw, unadulterated, and entrancing.
Bhutan Rivers aren't pretty – they're lifeblood to the locals. They rely on them for crops, and their people have lived in their homes and temples for hundreds of years, close to these running waters.
If you wonderplaces to visit in Bhutan, make sure to go to Punakha, where two rivers literally meet directly in front of a massive fortress. The locals call these rivers "Mother" and "Father" rivers - isn't that wonderful? We just sat on the riverbank for hours watching the water course by.
We visited in the spring when the rivers swelled from the melting snows - the noise was amazing! Some adventurous travelers among our group even attempted to go rafting, but we were content just wetting our toes in the cold water.
If you're considering visiting, look at ourBhutan Tour Packages - they visit all these fantastic riverside destinations. Our guides were aware of the ideal picnic spots where you could have lunch, along with the sound of rushing waters in the background.
Believe us, there is something magical about the rivers of Bhutan that photography cannot do justice to. You have to see them to believe!
