No, worries will tour again with better plan.
Also, we met 2 guys from kerala who were riding a 60 day trip from kerala to Leh - Nepal & Bhutan while we were returning from Thimphu.
We met them on their 38th day.
So will plan a trip similar in next year. Also planning South east asia trip soon but need some preparation and may do it next year.Comment

Re: Bhutan - EXPERIENCE TO LEARN FROM
A week later, got my bike back from siliguri through "safexpress". The I was under impression that something would have got damaged in shipment, but the bike was packed very well and except the parts damaged in the accident, the bike was safe.
A Short review on Safexpress in my experience.
Their network is good all over India, the guys who pick up or pack bikes are good enough that they listen to our requirements.
It took 6-8 days for transport and they call immediately when the bike reaches, also they keep it safe in godown till a week's time incase you can't take the delivery immediately. Price was reasonable - charged 4.8k for one way (Nashik to Siliguri) for 250cc category (180 kgs appx.).
Now the disappointing part is the additional packing charges (no receipt n unofficial) which packing guys get and it varies from place to place. The guy in nashik took Rs. 500 but the guy in siliguri asked Rs.1400 (It's too much). I gave him less and asked him to pack good with whatever he could do with it. This has to be reported.
But the siliguri guy packed the bike detailed for part to part. Pic is below,
Took the bike for a small ride 50 kms on highway and it was rolling well and everything was so good, I wanted to continue further and go to Dapoli (300 kms appx),
But then without proper shoes and no essentials were carried by me, so came back to Nashik and Had Misal Pav at famous place "Shamsundar" with Lassi.
It's too damn hot in Nashik, reaching 41 degrees in March end (Highest in last 13 years).
Strolling the streets,
