Hotels in Thimphu

Thimphu being the capital of Bhutan is extremely clean and well maintained. There are beautiful dzongs and nature trails to visit. We were just mezmerized. The quaity of food and vaue for money in Thimphu was definitely better than in Paro. We loved the Bhutanese cousin in this random restaurant next to Lungta handicrafts store that our guide took us too. The recommended ones from Trip Advisor were not open. Our guide ordered for us and we did order a lot. Since the Bhutanese love their spice had to tell them to make the orders less spicy. They take 40 minutes to cook the food, hence its a good idea to roam the handicraft stores during that point of time. The handicrafts in Thimphu are better and slightly less expensive than in Paro. Again payment by cash is recommended since more discounts can be bargained. Card payments charge 3.5% extra. It is easy to get around in Thimphu by either walking or hailing a cab. Cabs charge per person though. Again the medicine shop is the best place to get a good exchange rate to the dollar. Thimphu can be visited in a day but i would recommend extending the stay by another day or two so that Punakha and Wangdu can be visited as well.

Buddha Point and the King's Office (after dark) are the best places to visit. Mushroom Datshi is the best cuisine enjoyed. Taxi services are excellent but very expensive. Would avoid shopping too much as local products are unfortunately expensive.

The cleanliness in the city, in fact, entire Bhutan is outstanding. The vehicle traffic very disciplined. People very courteous and helping. The nature amazing. The Buddha Point is the best spot of the city. The food is excellent. It's easy to get around the city in taxi but fares are little high.

The great feeling of driving on the roads of Thimpu is that of traffic discipline and excellent parking facilities all along the City. During the entire rounds of the city , i had never come across one vehicle honking. That's something i wish to talk about and found it out of this world experience. All along Bhutan , i found zebra crossings for pedestrians and these crossings are respected by one and all. Excellent footpaths on both sides of the roads without any hindrances for a clean walk. The immigration process and permit was much faster than that of Pheutsholing and are very co-operative in information. Great architecture monuments and builldings greet us all along the city. I only wish the Airport was a bit nearer to the city , anyways the route to Paro airport is simply superb.

Big Buddha point is the best. I also love simply Bhutan. I was also visited national memorial chorten, simtoka dzong, tashichho dzong view point, national textile museum. I love clock tower thimphu city. It's the way to time pass in evening and early night.

Thimphu is a nice town. Too much construction is happening and hence too much of dust on the road. The market is good. Food is good. Nice town to walk around. Many important tourist places are within a radius of 1 km and can be easily reachable on foot.
