Punakha is the kind of place that makes you forget to check your phone. We've been bringing people there for years, and seeing their faces the first time they lay eyes on this valley never ceases to amaze me.
This was once Bhutan's ancient capital; you can still sense that. But the first thing you'll notice is how friendly it feels to the rest of Bhutan. No freezing here - just perfect weather all year.
We love how relaxed Punakha feels. Sure, there are amazing places to visit in Punakha - old temples and historic spots that'll blow your mind. But our favourite moments happen when you're just wandering around, maybe watching farmers in the rice fields or having tea with locals who want to chat.
We always tell people - Don't pack your schedule too tight here. There are plenty of things to do in Punakha, but leave room to explore on your own too. Maybe you'll find a perfect river spot or get invited for dinner. That's just how Punakha works.
