Yesterday the gang arrived safely back in Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital city, after a spectacularly scenic drive from the trail head at Tashitang. A quick stop at the Punakha Dzong – the winter palace of the king – invited some great photo ops in perfect weather and breathtaking scenery.
After some well deserved hot showers, the team will enjoy some local sightseeing and shopping today. Phil says all is well, and the team will soon depart for Paro for flights to new destinations.
