Agra, India -› Paro, Bhutan -› ...
We spent a day roaming around in Thimphu since that is the capital of Bhutan. We also met up with Ms Kencho from the travel agency where we had booked our trek with. We tried the local Bhutanese dish of chillies and cheese which was to be eaten as a vegetable dish. It was indeed spicy! A visit to the Thimphu library was a must to see the world’s largest book, so large that the librarian flips the page only once a month. It was a book with compilations of photos of Bhutan.   Back in P...

Bhutan is a small Himalayan Kingdom nestled in the lapses of Eastern Himalaya. It has remained closed to the out side world for a century soley of mountains, swift flowing rivers, thick jungles and so on.

One of the smallest and quietest capital cities I've ever seen.  Has a mountain retreat feel to it.  I use the only internet cafe in town and learn that the internet only came to the country a few years ago.

After breakfast at the hotel, Kemcho and Tashi picked us up for the long drive out of Phobjikha Valley and back to the capital of Thimphu. Our itinerary had us stopping at the Gangtey Temple which is currently under renovation and inaccessible.  We did at least stop at the site above the pretty valley and snap some photos of the temple with the deserted valley and mountains in the background.  Since Kemsho re-opened up last night, Cindy finally got the nerve to ask about the abundan...

The Festival
posted by:
Oct 03, 2006 - Oct 09, 2006
My father planned this trip so that we would have the opportunity to see one of the Tsechus (religious festival) at a Dzong (city fortress).  Three words: riot of color.  The fortresses are not historical buildings- they are still used in everyday life.  And the people of Bhutan are not dressed up in their traditional finery for the day- they wear these garments all the time (because of some rather strict rules governing their lives). Thimphu is the capital of Bhutan- and...

Fun times in Thimphu

Oct 03, 2006 - Oct 08, 2006
Day 2 was spent watching the last day of the Tshechu festival in the Tashichodzong. Translated means we saw the last day of a hella cool festival in one of the largest temples in Bhutan. The festival was amazing and was full of traditional dances and costumes. Apparently the dancers are in trances when they are performing which seemed pretty true, especially for the skeleton dance. This is where we spent all morning and a good portion of the afternoon. As the festival was nearing I headed off...
