Sorry for the delay, I was offline (travelling!-) Paro-Thimpu-Punakha lie west to east, in that order. Paro has the International airport, so am assuming you arrive there. Paro to Thimpu is approx 50Kms and 90mins by road. Thimpu to Punakha is approx 85km and 150mins/2.5 hrs by road. For 3 days in Bhutan, I would recommend the following plan. Day 1. Arrive into Paro, stay the night in Paro. Day 2. (Start early) Travel direct to Punakha - bypassing Thimpu (road trip approx 3.5 hrs), sightsee and return to Thimpu evening, stay the night. Day 3 Sightsee Thimpu, evening return to Paro. Hope this is useful. Happy trails!

must carry umbrella

You can do rafting in Punakha. It will cost you 7000/8000 for a raft. A raft will take in 6 people. Punakha will be the only place where you can do rafting.

You are allowed to wear any decent dress you want. No restrictions. You can even wear their (Bhutanese) traditional dress. People love that. About getting veg food you don't have to worry. Many restaurants will provide you Indian veg food. Just adjacent to the Dzong no proper restaurants are available but street vendors will be there. You can have snack there or can buy chips and biscuits there. For proper food you have to visit the market restaurants. Best wishes.

Hi, Sarees are allowed but shorts are not allowed. A lot of skin show is not appreciated in Bhutan. Cover shoulders and legs. They are very strict about it. Where to eat: If you are looking for good Indian food, head to the restaurants mentioned below. They are tried and tested :-) Paro - City Hotel Punakha -Rinchenling Cafeteria Thimpu - Chula Restaurant Have a wonderful trip!

No, they don't allow photography in Dzong. But yes, there is many resorts to stay.

Yes you can reach by car or mini bus the steps are only at the Dzong but they are manageable it's a lovely place worth a visit carry your medicine water bottles and camera as it's a scenic place to visit Regards n all b best enjoy your holidays
