Why Bhutan beckons in Fall (Credit: Undiscovered Destinations) Whatever your idea of indulgence may be, stepping into Bhutan during a season the country smiles the brightest - and beyond just its people - promises to leave you feeling more than just rejuvenated. Its an indexed fact that Bhutan is one of the happiest countries in the world, offering the kind of peace and tranquility to its dwellers, many can often only dream to live their lives in. But the Land of the Thunder Dragon does not differentiate when it comes to tourists. And so for those of us that aren't luck enough to experience Bhutan's magic round the year, the Fall flush is when the country throws open its gates just a little wider. The one thing anyone who's stepped into Bhutan even once, can't seem to stop harping on about, is its natural beauty - utterly breathtaking. So it only makes sense to start off with the country's natural attractions, best described as effortlessly regal. Take the Motithang Takin Preserve for instance. This reserve promises the maximum number of sightings of the Takin, which happens to be Bhutan's glorious national animal - and the autumn months are a sweet spot for this. Then there are the Samtse and Sarpang rice fields which are just on the precipice of being harvested and thus look divinely lush, offering a rustic experience. If you like your vacations to have more activity, trek your way to Mount Jomolhari, the highest peak in Bhutan, its panoramic views offering a a beautiful mix of hues across the sky during these months. This, is nature's version of romance.
