On the road to Gyantse...
This is a top pick! 15 SEPTEMBER 2004 I feel a bad road rising.... As promised, I woke up early and took snapshot of the Potala Palace as viewed from our hotel rooftop. Nice! We had a long day in store for us. We were driving from Lhasa to Gyantse. The tour guide ...

Touring in Bumthang
... . The bus drops us at a river, and we hike up to the palace for about 30 minutes. The Lieutenant Governor of Bumthang is present with a high level dignitary from India when we arrive, so we postpone our entrance until they have come out. In the ...
Perfect Day
To continue from the last entry. the day in Jakar turned out to be one of my favourites of the trip. After lunch we went on a hike (Bhutanese are incapable of using the word walk!) Penny who had her pedometer reckoned we did around 13kms. After the first ...
11 hours in the back of a Toyota
Sober tonight! left Thimphu at 7.45am this morning and drove to Bumthang where we arrived at 7pm. We stopped off in Wangdue Phodrang in the morning and then had a picnic lunch somewhere below Pele La pass. Cheese sandwiches, fried chicken, boiled ...
Trekking in the Himalayas
... hotel. Our trek was over, we had met the challenge and now needed a hot bath (sadly unavailable). That afternoon Phub Gyeltshen took us shopping in Bumthang, and helped me get onto the internet in the busiest internet cafe in the world (it felt ...
Bunthang Cultural Trek
Our second attempt at a trek in Bhutan was chosen not so much for the mountain views but rather the "culture" aspect. Sadly there wasn't as much culture as we had hoped and we traipsed through the forest for much of the time. It was also extremely muddy ...
Chanting One Hundred Thousand Mantras
Today's itinerary included a visit to the beautiful Kurjey Lhakhang, Bumthang which is where Guru Rinpoche first came to Bhutan. It was here Guru Rinpoche is said to have used his super natural powers to turn into a garuda (bird) and ...
Ogyen Chholing Palace
... well despite the cold, windy weather outside. One of the families was building a new house in the village. Houses in Bhutan are primarily made of mud brick, or stone in high altitude locations. We took a turn helping make the mud brick walls ...
Bumthang
Bumthang staat bekend als de spirituele vallei van Bhutan dus er waren hier veel kloosters te bezoeken, die we het merendeel te voet zijn gaan bezoeken aangezien het hier overdag aangenaam weer is. Het eerste klooster is een van de weinige dat ...
Mongar-Bumthang
Vandaag terug de hele rit naar Bumthang en kon niet op een slechter moment komen, want al bij het instappen in de auto voelde ik me slecht. Pillen hielpen niet echt, dus de hele rit lang was zeer zeer onaangenaam wat er niet beter op werd als er gestopt ...
East to Bumthang
... dancers who perform quite the feats of physical endurance, whirling and jumping while beating drums. Then we headed further east into Bumthang, a long day's drive on very curvy mountain road, much of it in some phase of being widened. I stayed ...
The best French Fries in the Himalayas
... turn after that. Either going up or going down. Steep. Tall mountains upwards, deep deep valleys underneath. Bhutan driving. Still, approaching the Bumthang valleys, the road straightend out for 500 metres. That was it. The road returned to ...
Bumthang - the last destination of the trip
... to order food well in advance. Not all restaurants take running orders. In the evening, we reached Swiss guest house in Bumthang. It's a beautifully designed bed and breakfast type of hotel surrounded by apple and plum trees. We loved the ambiance and the ...
Bhutan - 3rd day (14) - Road to Bumthang!!
Today we took the road to reach the Bumthang valley immediately after breakfast. As I mentioned, 10.5 hours to cover 275 km is a pain. Google calculates the 309 km that separates Paro to Bumthang to be completed in 4hrs 41mins. Just a tad different. ...
Bhutan Culture & Religion
... step in this process took place March 24th, 2008, with the election of the democratic representatives. As already mentioned, Bhutan is very much a Buddhist Kingdom. They practice Tibetan, ritualized, tantric Buddhism, which permeates all aspects of their ...
Priceless
... maybe every three days or so. Yesterday we drove six hours along extremely windy roads to get to Jakar in the central Bumthang district. THank god for Dramamine. By far, the most striking thing about Bhutan as a whole is ...
