This last autumn was a very busy months in Bhutan on account of two factors. First it was the King's wedding and second the tariffs are going up January 1, 2012.
Bhutan King's wedding produced particular trouble for tour operators getting confirmations from lodges and hotels especially in Punakha and Wangdue where marriage party visitors needed to be lodged and the local hotels been required to accommodate them ahead of the tourists.
The hassle on accommodations and increased number of tourists resulted in some domino effect as more tourists were booked in places like Bumthang. But Bumthang added new rooms, for example Dendupling Guest House.
In any case as demand in Bumthang has definitely increased specifically at on this occasion of the season, the caliber of places to stay in Bhutan has been gradually increasing as since about year or so ago after the government approved approve only accommodations that could meet their standard of 3-star minimum. As I can't attest to that I truly do know that even though there are some lower quality accommodations in the government collection in Bhutan (mainly in the East), anything newer should be of a certain standard, regardless of whether they really do not have any legitimately accepted star designations per the world star evaluating, so the fact remains the quality is approximately 2 and 3 star.
This last October and November saw a yet still a lot of visitors riding a bicycle in Bhutan, with amounts of reserved Bhutan mountain biking tours nearly exceeding the amount of tourists signed up for Bhutan trekking tours.
Even though biking Bhutan isn't really for the accomplished individuals primarily, the rides and distances of the daily stages are one matter and the surface another. Simple truth is that tourists have the option to dismount whenever and ride in their support vehicle and those that register also come in diverse level of fitness and so it is a good option to be able to get off the bike if needed and only ride.
No matter what none of the Bhutan bike excursions is a Tour de France, you bicycle, halt, appreciate, take photographs, enjoy lunch break, get back on your bike on...
Following find the approx . cycling kilometers on a daily basis on the key legs of Bhutan bike jaunts:
Paro - Thimphu bike 37 miles
Thimphu - Punakha 45 miles
Punakha - Trongsa 60 miles
Trongsa - Bumthang 42 miles
Bumthang to Ura 58 miles

To remember, in October there was a fairly considerable earthquake in Bhutan. The epicenter was in southern Tibet and northern Sikkim where there have been numerous landslides and roads got blocked. Although Bhutan is positioned definitely on the opposite side of significant line of large Himalayan mountains from the epicenter of the earthquake Thimphu documented the fact that the tremor was frightening and thankfully there were no destruction or traumas.
