On Day 13 of our Bhutan travel and food trip, we drove from Thimphu to Punakha.

Dochula Pass – On the drive from Thimphu to Punakha, you’ll pass through Dochula Pass, a beautiful mountain pass. Although it was foggy, there were still great views and it had an almost eerie feel to it.

Punakha Dzong – A Dzong is the center of government, administration, and religion in every district of Bhutan, and one of the most famous places to visit in Punakha is the local Dzong. Unfortunately they don’t allow any video inside the dzong, but the views from outside were still spectacular.

Punakha Suspension Bridge – This bridge was a little scary to cross, but the beauty was amazing.

Yak Herder’s Camp – Food and Lodging – For lunch we stopped at Yak Herder’s camp, there weren’t too many food options in this area of Bhutan. The food was alright, we mostly ate Indian food. Total price – 655 BTN ($9.83) for 3

Aum Leki Wangmo Farmhouse – For the night we checked into Aum Leki Wangmo Farmhouse a secluded home stay high up in the mountains. It was dark when we arrived, but it was beautiful. We had a home cooked Bhutanese food meal for dinner.

  1. Punakha valley is located at an elevation of 4,265 feet and is the ideal destination to awaken the nature lover in you. Spending some time with the splendid views of the Himalayas, the sounds of the crystal clear rivers of Mo Chhu and Po Chhu and the serenity of nature will leave you awestruck by the beauty of the valley.

  2. Sir I like your expression whenever you take a bite of any food and I am wondering how did you eat all those bhutanese chilis they are so spicy and hot …thank you god you visited my country …love your blogs

  3. you have been eating the same thing for 13 days, but still can talk the food in every video without being speechless…..earned my respect man lol

  4. Hi Mark, I'm happy to know that you're next videos will my country. try our Batil Patong in Cagayan and Pansit Cabagan in Cabagan Isabela.

  5. I think to complain about about too much datshi or momo's in a Bhutanese video is like complaining that there's too much pasta or pizza in an Italian video. Sure there's more, but they're staples of the cuisine, and come in SO many different varieties.

  6. hi Mark. this blog was very nice as usual. dochula pass looks really welcoming…..the dzong very beautiful……suspension bridge would like to visit……home stay looks so amazing…..u enjoy n keep the vedios coming…
    God bless

  7. Wondering why there are no patrons dining at these locations where Mark eats at… Do Bhutanese not dine out as much as westerners? Does anyone know?

  8. I am sorry that you are getting so many complaints Mark. I had never heard of Bhutan before this series and I am enjoying every video! What an amazing people, such beautiful landscapes and I love the architecture. As for the food, I don't' understand the issues people are having. No matter where you travel, you will eat versions of the same foods as that is what people eat there. (some version of pasta, some version of rice, some version of chicken, a repeat of local veg. etc)

  9. Hi Mark i bet you are fed up of momo and emadatcy, it all looks so repetitive ! I am not sure you needed soooo many days in Bhutan lol
