Ladies and gentleman, i am back from Bhutan safe and sound. The trip was fun, exciting, adventurous and unforgettable. This is the first time in my life doing so much climbing, walking, hiking and trekking and the road trip was on bumpy and bending road, not a very comfortable ride though. BUT the view was stunning, incredible beautiful. So it all worth the effort.

 This is a country covered with mountains. this was taken while on the way from Paro (airport) to Thimpu (capital of Bhutan)

5 star hotel for first two nights. Incredible deluxe room for honeymoon couple. hahahahahah ..nice view...

Bhutanese costume - Second night, we were asked to dress in their costume and they welcomed us with their local dance and ceromony. Western dinner served.

Typical Bhutanese meal. They have animals but they don't kill animals. Meat are mostly imported from neighbor country, India and Nepal.

Third day in Punaka (last time it was their capital, but then change it to Thimpu later on). It is located at 3 hours mountain road drive from Thimpu. This is their government office. It looked like palace to me.

  

This was taken when we were going to cross the suspension bridge.

 The most challenging hike - Tiger Nest. We ride the horse halfway and have to walked 702 steps to reach the monastery. Very challenging. This is my horse.

                  Half way before reach the Tiger Nest. It  took us a lot of effort to complete the hike.

                                 We are few steps away from this 300 years old monastery.

                                                 108  stupas (tomb) with buddha's ashes.

                                                           The giant buddha. Amitabha

                                     Fly by Drukair. Could not access with any other airline.
