Riverside Dinner in Punakha. As dusk settles over Punakha, lanterns glow along the banks of the Mo Chhu. The dzong shines gold in the fading light while the river hums its ancient song.
Over warm butter tea and a toast of ara, you savour red rice, fiery ema datshi and fresh valley greens beneath a sky filling with stars. Stories of kings and saints drift through the night air, and for one quiet evening, the valley feels like home.
