Bhutan Day 4
This is a top pick! The first noise heard on the earth was OM. When you are in Nepal, certain parts of India and here in Bhutan, you constantly here that song, the prayer, and I am now hooked, and the worse part of it is I'm not religious Om Ma Ni Pe Me Hung ...
Dochula Pass
So what about them mountains? Here they are: a glimpse of the Bhutanese Himalayan range from Dochula Pass. And for once, coming here in winter proved to be an advantage. You won't see the mountain range in the summer because the air is too humid ...
Stopover in Wangdue Phodrang
... ... Auf dem Weg nach Wangdi kam uns der Koenig entgegen, benutzt auch nur einen normalen Toyota Landcruiser. Noch ist Bhutan ja eine absolute Monarchie, 1907 wurde der erste Koenig gekroent, der aktuelle ist der vierte. Er wird jetzt zuruecktreten ...
The Mighty Phallus...
... prodding an unsuspecting female in the nether regions with a 12 inch wooden penis would be construed sexual harassment. Here in Bhutan, I (the unsuspecting female) was expected to be thankful for the good fortune this 'blessing' would bring me. ...

The last Shangri-La!
... groot 'long live our beloved king', maar als je de verhalen hoort is de populariteit wel te begrijpen. Hij heeft veel gedaan voor Bhutan en is zeer begaan met het volk. (wat zorgt voor vele grappige anekdotes die ze hier graag vertellen) Over de huidige ...
Spinster????
... film over de regio getoond en heb blijkbaar toch alle belangrijke zaken rond Trongsa bezocht. De dzong in Trongsa is de grootste van heel Bhutan, en er is dan ook steeds verder aan gebouwd. Van hieruit is ook de 1ste koning aan de macht gekomen: de ...
Training
... accompanied by Rinzin. Stayed at Y.T. Hotel a two star type hotel on the path to CNR. Conduct the training next day at the College of Natural Resources (CNR) of the Royal University of Bhutan in Lobesa (City: Wangdue-Phodrang; District: Punakha ...
Heading East, deeper into Bhutan
... we scooped up an armful and made out way back to the relative luxury of the hotel to enjoy our nightcap. Tomorrow would be another long journey by car, further and deeper into central Bhutan, further and further away from any sense of western ...
BHUTAN: The Road from Punakha to Gangte
... we left the next day – oops! Have I mentioned how chilled out, relaxed and completely in the moment I was feeling in Bhutan? This place just multiplied it further. Back to Paro None of us were expecting the next day to be a particular ...
