    Lets Keep Going !!

    November 14, 2024 in Bhutan ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Ofcourse the hike to Tiger’s Nest was challenging. Sonam and Nangyel offered us to return to hotel for rest buy it was still early afternoon and we told that we could still continue our sightseeing.

    So our next destination was the oldest monastery of Bhutan named "Kychu Lhakhang Monastery". The oldest section dates back 7th century. Another very attractive part of this monastery was the garden and as in Bhutan it was season of flowers blossoming so we saw many colorful flowers specially Rosesa and ofcourse many colorful praying wheels.

    After this sightseeing Sonam dropped us at the market place where first we had sumptuous lunch of local delicacies(PUTA - buckwheat noodles and HOENTEY - buckwheat dumplings) with coffee and Mountain Cafe. The cafe was intrinsically crafted to give it very bohemian look. The highlight for me(or for engineer inside me) was there on working roaster where they roast the coffee beans.

    After lunch we did small souvenir shopping in the market. For me it's tiem to follow the most important tradition to get the fridge magnets of the places I visited and I did found few so it was a success.

    Finally we returned to hotel took hot water showers, had our dinner and turned into stones kept on bed.
