Our guide seemed to know exactly when we needed tea and when we needed silence. At the Tiger's Nest he let us go at our own pace and never once made us feel slow. Punakha Dzong in the evening light is something I will never forget.

We wanted to go beyond Paro and Thimphu and Longing Bhutan understood that from the first email. Bumthang was the highlight — the temples, the buckwheat pancakes, the quiet. Every hotel was clean and warm.

The camp crew were brilliant. Hot tea at the tent door every morning, and the food on the trail was better than most restaurants at home. Waking up to the peaks above Jimilang Tsho was worth every step.

I came for the cranes and stayed for the people. Our lodge in Phobjikha had a wood stove and the family taught us to make ema datshi. We heard the cranes calling before we saw them.

Getting up before dawn to see the thongdrel was magical. Our guide explained every dance and even found my husband a gho to wear. The planning before the trip was clear and patient.

Crossing the whole country was an adventure. The east felt like a different Bhutan — fewer visitors and so much warmth. They were honest about the simpler hotels there, and we loved them anyway.

The homestay in Haa was the best night of the trip. Our host grandmother laughed at my dumpling-folding and then showed me again, three times. Exactly the kind of Bhutan I was longing for.

Serious trek, seriously well organised. The rest day at Jangothang made all the difference for acclimatising, and the guide checked on each of us every evening. Jomolhari at sunrise is unreal.
