Departing Paro

Paro Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

Trekking in Bhutan was a back-to-basic experience - camping by the river, sleeping in a tent, setting up a fire to keep warm, no Coke or Snicker bars sold along the way (unlike in Nepal). The reason for all the inconveniences and rigourous walking .... to see Bhutan's most sacred summit - Mt Jhomohari.

Departing Paro

The flight out of Paro back to New Delhi flew via Kathmandu. As we were early again, we managed to get seats on the right side of the plane. We were able to see Mt Jhomohari and Jichu Drake peaks above the sea of clouds shortly after departing Paro. It was a beautiful sight and the camera was clicking away furiously.

 

Proceeding towards Kathmandu, there were lots of clouds but when we reached the Himalayan mountain range, all the high peaks rose above the clouds to create a magnificent view. We were able to feast our eyes on the full glory of Mt Everest and the other 8,000m peaks. It was really a beautiful sight!
