QUESTION: I would love to visit Bhutan. I read a very interesting article which described it as one of the last unspoilt tourist destinations on earth. However, I have no idea about how to start organising a trip. Can you assist? - Rodney Harrington
ANSWER: You will need a visa and travel permit, which can be organised through an approved travel agent. If you book hotel accommodation, the management will assist in expediting the approval process. Places to stay include the magnificent 24-room Amankora, which is part of the Aman chain (www.amanresorts.com) and Uma Paro, a trendy lodge (www.uma.como.bz). For a local feel, you can try the Zhiwa Ling hotel (www.zhiwaling.com). Bhutan's only airport is located in Paro and the only scheduled carrier flying into the country is Druk Air, which has services from Bangkok (via Kolkata) and Delhi (via Kathmandu).
