• Paro - Part 2

    November 8, 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    After another lovely Bhutanese lunch it was a walk up to the Rinpung Dzong.
    This is the main Dzong in Paro and has more great views over the valley and surrounding mountains.
    Hem taught us more about the Circle of Life which is a very interesting pictorial representation about how we should live life and the path to enlightenment to prevent continuous rebirth.
    After our time at the Dzong it was a walk through town and back up to the hotel- watching the locals continue to cultivate their rice paddies and harvest their hay aswell as watching the planes land and take off from the airport!!
    Now about to have dinner and prepare for the gruelling climb to Tigers Nest Monastery in the am.
