Day 1
09/04/2026
Arrive and exhale in Bhutan - Handicrafts browsing

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: Built around walkability, good food breaks, and calm evenings. No checklist travel. Weather can change plans—this itinerary has flexible slots on purpose.
