Families coming with kids should carry stuff you kids need.

This way we can enjoy the trip without worrying over the availability of some item.

What to Expect
Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the Himalayas’ eastern edge, is known for its religious communities, strongholds (or dzongs) and landscapes that extend from subtropical fields to soak mountains and valleys. In the High Himalayas, pinnacles, for example, 7,326m Jomolhari is well-known trekking goals. Paro Taktsang cloister (otherwise called Tiger’s Home) sticks to bluffs over the forested Paro Valley.
Remote Bhutan previously permitted the world a look inside in 1974. With four centuries of home, the Himalayan realm offers a trove of archeological fortunes, including numerous elaborate sanctuaries and dzong strongholds. Segregation has safeguarded the intensely Buddhist-impacted culture of the last Shangri-La.
