In Punakha, not me but my fellow travellers did do river rafting. In Punakha, the raft costed nearly Rs. 12000-15000 for 6 people. 6 people are accommodated in one raft. Even if persons are less than 6, the charges for the raft remain the same. As far as I know, there is no rafting in Thimphu. There may be rafting in Paro but I am not exactly sure. Hope you've a very nice trip :)

We are a group of 15 Gujarati Veg from Mumbai visiting Bhutan in mid-Sept. Any good places to have Indian snacks in between Thimphu, Punakha & Paro?
