My husband and me are always hoping to visit the happiest nation on earth - Bhutan. We are in our 60s, fit and energetic, but not too adventurous. Love to feel the serenity in nature, in religion and the people. Please advise the best time to visit, itinerary suggestion and how you can help to make this trip a memorable one.
