When I visited Zambia in August 2014, it was the 50th country I had visited in my 55 years of life. What would be my 51st? My wife Nimmi said “Bhutan”– it’s off the beaten track, with mountains, forests and rivers and highest global gross national happiness index. I was sold on the idea!
So we booked a tentative 8D/7N tour with a Bhutan-based tour operator for US$280 (RM1,150) per person or RM2,500 per couple per day in November. It is only after agreeing on an itinerary and making payment upfront that the tour operator submits an application for a visa.
