Bhutan - Birding & Wildlife YCN Trip Report Spring 2024
Bhutan is a dream travel destination. I have been lucky enough to visit the country three times since 2018. On each occasion I have worked with Wild Nature Quest in Bhutan and partner travel company Indus Experiences. On the 27 April 2024, I set out once again to take a group of guests for a birding and wildlife tour. This time for an epic three weeks!
I expected a huge number of highlights so I set myself the challenge of writing a trip report every day as a journal. I was desperate not to miss any of our experiences.
I am writing this blog in a hotel in Delhi on my journey back to the UK. Reliving our adventure in my journal and photos is a huge pleasure.
I hope this trip journal brings pleasure to my travel guests and encourages many other people to visit this most amazing country.
