• Buddha Statue Thimphu

    May 21, 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Atop a hill in Thimphu is a massive 169 foot golden Buddha sitting on a gilded mediation hall. Inside there are 125,000 miniature buddhas which are also gilded and made of bronze. It cost almost US$100 million to build. It was constructed in 2015 to honour the 60th birthday of the 4th King of Bhutan.

    No photos inside agin this seems to be a pattern at many of the places we are visiting.

    No Photos, dusty roads, poor hotels and bad wifi. Is the glass half full or half empty.

    It's all about the experience.
