Wow, 3 days is a very short time to see Bhutan. I suggest that you stay in Paro,your plane%26#39;ll arrive there, get a feel of the place, hike to Taktsang-monastry and drive to the end of the valley, to Drugyel Dzong. Then you can drive to the capital, one and a half hour away, Thimphu, and do some sightseeing. Get a feel, and plan to be back for at least another 10 days. By the way, you have to plan and prepay everything with a local agent, who can add his additions.

Bhutan is a very quiet and beautiful country, and I advise to take it in slowly, not in a hurry just to %26#39;do%26#39; the place.

You have too little time in Bhutan and Sunderbans.

In 3 days - u can perhaps do only Paro - and a day trip to Thimpu. But you will miss Punakha and Bumthang.

You cant do Sunderban in 1 day - Given your time constraint - you can go for the 2 Night 3 day cruise - recently Vivada has launched a new cruise - its expensive - but worth it. You can get the details from www.sunderbancruises.com/itinerary.html.

Check out my post on Bakkhali - type a search by Bakkhali and you will get the review. The hotel I stayed was horrible. Its run by Benfish ( owned by state govt). Dont stay there.

I am curious to know why you chose Bakkhali - few people from outside west bengal know about that place.
