    Jokhang Temple

    16 Mei 2019, Cina ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Jokhang Temple is in Barkhor Square Tibetians consider this temple as the most sacred and important temple in Tibet. The temple architecture is a mixture of Indian, Tibetian and Nepalease design. It was established in the 7th century. It was impressive inside but unfortunately we could not take photo's which is a shame as the budhas and statues are incredible but I found some on google. Again really hard to learn anything about the temple but hopefully we can find some information when back in Nepal or even Sydney. Both Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple are impressive buildings with so much history and knowledge of Buddhism it is worth reading about.Baca selengkapnya

    On a Mission

    16 Mei 2019, Cina ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    We went back to Old Town in search of something simple for dinner. Old Town is only a 10min walk away. We walked for nearly 2 hours and could not really find something suitable. So we are back at the Hotel restaurant for pizza.

    The walk in Old Town was great though all the locals are out selling different sorts of food and some of the shops were still open.

    Dreprung Monastery

    17 Mei 2019, Cina ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    More Monasteries today each one is a little different but essentially the same.

    Dreprung Monastery was built in 1416. Over 10,000 monks resided here making it the largest monastery in Tibet. It has 6 main temples, 3 monastic colleges. The monastery covers an area of 200,000 square metres.

    Again we walked heaps of stairs just to get to the monastery and then there are plenty more stairs inside. We only visited 2 of the temples but still very interesting.    Baca selengkapnya

    Last Night in Tibet

    Mulberry Hotel Kathmandu

    18 Mei 2019, Nepal ⋅ 🌬 29 °C

    We are now back in Kathmandu at the Mulberry Hotel even in the same room.

    Whilst we did no really like this Hotel at the beginning of our holiday in Kathmandu after the ones we stayed in whilst in Tibet it does seem much better.

    We have dropped the washing off, completed the last minute touristy things and had lunch. Now back at the Hotel catching u on all the things you need WIFI and Google interesting how much you really on the internet these days.    Baca selengkapnya

    Mount Everest here we come

    19 Mei 2019, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Yeh, today we saw Mount Everest.

    We finally have been able to catch our scenic flight to see Mount Everest. The flight was a little delayed but all good.

    The hostess on the plane was lovely during the flight she come around individually and pointed out the different mountains including Mount Everest. Each person was allowed to go to the cockpit and view the mountains from the front of the plane. Then to celebrate viewing the infamous mountain called Mount Everest we received a glass of bubbles.

    Not sure I can tick this off the bucket list as it is not base camp. In the future I think we will just have to go back to Tibet and do Everest Base Camp from there as apparently the view of the peak is better and you can basically drive directly to it. Sounds like a plan.    Baca selengkapnya

    Old Town

    19 Mei 2019, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    We continued our walk after lunch through an old part of Thamel which we had previously passed through briefly at night when we were here last week. Some interesting buildings and stupa's. It is a very busy and dusty street. As one store owner said this is Dustmandu.

    We even found the smallest shop we have seen during our travels it was like a hole in the wall.    Baca selengkapnya

    Looking for Moving Tiger

    19 Mei 2019, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    We continued walking around Thamel Dustmandu looking in a number of stores for a Nepalise game called Moving Tiger which John had researched and found out about. Apparently it is not something tourists ask for as in the stores which had them they were found hidden away and covered in dust. We did find quite a nice one which was a little more expensive than we wanted to pay but we thought that it would be a great and interesting souvenier from Nepal and that we could teach the A Team and Charlie how to play. It is unlike any other game we have played. John even played a game with the store owner to see how it went and he lost.Baca selengkapnya

    Our destinatina whilst in Bhutan

    Bhutan

    20 Mei 2019, Bhutan ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Bhutan is the last great Himalayan kingdom, shrouded in mystery and magic, where a traditional Buddhist culture carefully embraces global developments.

    The Bhutanese pride themselves on a sustainable approach to tourism in line with the philosophy of Gross National Happiness. Foreign visitors famously pay a minimum tariff of US$250 per day, making it seem one of the world's more expensive destinations. However, this fee is all-inclusive – accommodation, food, transport and an official guide are all provided, so it's not a bad deal. You don't have to travel in a large group and you can arrange your own itinerary. What you won't find is budget backpacker-style travel.

    Bhutan holds many surprises. It is a country where the rice is red and where chillies aren't just a seasoning but the main dish. It's also a deeply Buddhist land, where monks check their smartphones after performing a divination, and where giant protective penises are painted beside the entrance to many houses. Yet while it visibly protects its Buddhist traditions, Bhutan is not a museum. You will find the Bhutanese well educated, fun loving and well informed about the world around them. It's this blending of the ancient and modern that makes Bhutan endlessly fascinating.

    There is the amazing Himalayan landscape, where snow-capped peaks rise above shadowy gorges cloaked in primeval forests. Taking up prime positions in this picture-book landscape are the majestic fortress-like dzongs and monasteries. This unique architecture sets the stage for spectacular tsechus (dance festivals) attended by an almost medieval-looking audience. Then there are the textiles and handicrafts, outrageous archery competitions, high-altitude trekking trails, and stunning flora and fauna.

    Environmental protection goes hand in hand with cultural preservation in Bhutan. By law, at least 60% of the country must remain forested for all future generations; it currently stands above 70%. Not only is Bhutan carbon neutral, but it actually absorbs more carbon than it emits! For the visitor, this translates into lovely forest hikes and superb birding across a chain of national parks. Whether you are spotting takins or blue poppies, trekking beneath 7000m peaks or strolling across hillsides ablaze with spring rhododendron blooms, Bhutan offers one of the last pristine pockets in the entire Himalaya.

    National Museum

    20 Mei 2019, Bhutan ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    The National Museum of Bhutan is a cultural Museum that has on display antique items gathered from around the country, many masks used in their celebrations and information on their natural environment.

    We did not see the full museum as it is under renovation.

    No photo's inside again very annoying.    Baca selengkapnya

    Kyichu Lhakhang

    20 Mei 2019, Bhutan ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    This is one of the oldest temples in Bhutan. It was built by a Tibetan King in the 7th century and was one of 108 temples constructed by him to subdue a demon that was terrorising the people of the Himalayas. It houses many important relics including a 7th century statue which is believed to have been cast at the same time as its famous counterpart in Lhasa Tibet.Baca selengkapnya

    Buddha Statue Thimphu

    21 Mei 2019, 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.    Baca selengkapnya
