Hello from Edinburgh :)

I see that you are the %26#39;expert%26#39; for Bhutan and was wondering if you could help me get a route out of Eastern Bhutan. I am using Blue Poppy Tours and they have organised a couple of itineraries for me, both of which look very enticing.

I will be travelling October 2008 and there is a West to East 16 day tour and a loop in and out of Paro, both including festivals.

On the 16 day tour, they escort me to Guwahati in which I can get a flight out of there and to Bangkok for a reasonable price (and home ward to Scotland)

I would just value your opinion on whether to see Eastern Bhutan and have the slightly more difficult route home and the price of Indian visa / travelling there on my own etc or if you can get a %26#39;true%26#39; taste of Bhutan starting in and out of Paro and doing a 14 day loop

I have already travelled through India so do not need to return to Delhi etc in this trip and will be flying into Paro from Nepal and was happy to return there afterwards.

Any information or personal opinions would be appreciated, thank you in advance
