Day 1
20/12/2026
Arrive and exhale in Bhutan — Local farmhouse lunch

Focus: Arrival & settle Day notes: Keep today light: hydrate, a short orientation walk, and an early night. If jetlag hits, take a short nap (30–45 mins max) so sleep stays intact. Anchor: Bhutan. Keep the pace gentle—one good moment beats ten rushed ones. Trip notes: Keeping this plan intentionally unhurried—one meaningful highlight per day and plenty of buffer. If something feels rushed, we’ll skip it. The goal is to come back rested, not exhausted.
