i really dont mind doing the trip alone , and don't mind the hassle from people , i am sure bhutanese taxi driver are more relaxed compared to the ones here , always behind you. Thanks so much for your help , i am planning to come to bhutan around mid march ;and cant wait .I think the bhutanese people do understand hindi right& do you think its easy to find budget hotels ranging from rupees 500 ... .
thanks again .

i know paro is nice and thimpu as of now just know about these two places any recommendations... what research should i do . But you know i dont believe in planning and i know things would work out after i land there , meet people and get more suggestions . Well, what about indians being allowed to work there is it ok . I can even bring my resume and meet some hotels there as i speak international language , would see how that goes myself. planning to enter the country from sikkim or somewhere near darjeeling thats a good point right?
what about treks ... i want to see the lakes in bhutan saw some site with a trek for 1000 lakes , anything like that exist?would like to do that , can you tell me round about how much would it cost ?
thanks again for your help.
