Trekking in Bhutan: Thimpu & Goodbyes

 

Hello Everyone,

Today we drove a couple hours up through the mountains on a great road, visiting a temple before arriving in the capital city of Thimpu. We spent most of the day wandering around the town and souvenir shopping. We had our last dinner in Bhutan tonight at a local restaurant with another fun song and dance program, performed while we enjoyed a traditional Bhutanese meal. We leave early tomorrow morning to Paro for our flights home. This was a great journey through western Bhutan and we hope you will join us next year! Thanks for following along!
