Paro, Bhutan - Farm Stay and Festival

The most memorable part of our time in Bhutan was staying overnight at a farmhouse in Paro. This allowed us to see, first-hand, how people are living in Bhutan. The family, including their adorable and curious children, were overly gracious. We really felt like part of the family when the next morning, we woke up and all went to the Paro festival together. We sat with them in their reserved seats to watch the program of traditional Bhutanese dance and costume.
