I love the way how you put it as a family trip. Your narration and pics say a lot how you enjoyed the trip with your family. |
Thanks a lot Samba !! The time spent on such trips is the only quality time I get with my family to be really honest and that is why I pen down the minutest of details in the travelogue (which makes it lengthy) so that it works as a memorabilia for me. We had an awesome time indeed !!

Hopefully so ! Time will tell.
Thanks for sharing some lovely photographs from your trip. They are really awesome. I can only wish that I could be half as good as you are behind the lenses.

Love the rusty look of Figo after being mud splattered. |
Thanks for the appreciation !!
Regarding Motor Insurance, it is not mandatory. But, it is better to take the coverage for Bhutan which comes at a nominal cost of around Rs.500 depending on the service provider.

How difficult or easy was it to manage the long road trip with your young son? Does he enjoy sitting in the car for long and is he comfortable sitting on the baby seat with seat belts for a long time? I have a year old son and he gets restless if we make him sit in the baby seat for more than an hour. So I am just wondering when I'll be able to get back to long road trips without compromising the little's comfort. |
Thanks anshumandun !! Bhutan has a very different character all together in comparison to the Hill Destinations in India. You will love it surely.
I have been doing road trips with my kids since they were very young, rather since they were toddlers. Here are the links to my other travelogues :
To West Sikkim when my son was 3 Months Old : http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/travel...kkim-baby.html
He was mostly in the belted Carry Cot without any issues and used to love being in the car, though used to sleep most of the time.
To Rajasthan when my son was around 9 months Old : http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/travel...rajasthan.html
He was mostly in the belted Carry Cot again without any issues. He diligently followed the caption- "Eat, Sleep, Drive" all throughout on this trip as well.
I found that the Belted Carry Cot is a better option than a Car Seat as the child is more comfortable and could rest it's head properly unlike in the car seat. You can try out this option.
However, Mivann has outgrown the Carry Cot now and sits belted in the rear seat with his sister or prefers to be in his Mum's lap. I hope this helps you to plan your child's debut road trip soon.
