"June’s monsoon gifted us empty trails and the scent of wet earth. At Kyichu Lhakhang, Bhutan’s oldest temple, we chanted with monks as rain pattered the roof. Punakha’s suspension bridge was shrouded in mist—mystical and serene. Our luxury lodge (Como Uma Punakha) offered post-yoga suja (butter tea) with valley views. The highlight? A private arghye (purification ritual) at a riverside shrine. Yes, our Tiger’s Nest hike was slippery, but the cafeteria’s momo dumplings warmed us up. Pack waterproof boots and embrace the tranquility—it’s Bhutan at its most authentic."
