      Langer weg zum Buddha

      1. Januar in Bhutan ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

      Einen schönen Kater hatte ich mir zugezogen! Um neun standen die beiden schon auf der Matte.
      Zuerst haben wir einen Tempel besucht, war auch ganz interessant, der guide hat auch viel und interessant erklärt. Dann gings weiter einen Berg hoch latschen. Endlich angekommen: "so hier beginnt jetzt der Wanderweg 🥴"- ich habs geahnt. Über 2 Stunden waren es dann. Hat sich aber gelohnt, diese Buddha Statue die über der Stadt thront ist echt imposant. Innen ist dann noch ein Tempel.. fotografieren nicht erlaubt, war aber auch sehr aufwändig und imposant. Was ich cool fand, das wurde alles genutzt. Das wurde nicht (nur) für Touristen dahin gesetzt.
      Danach Mittach, kleiner Stadtspaziergang (musste ich machen) und dann hab ich meinen verdienten Mittagsschlaf bekommen!      Weiterlesen

      Vielfalt in Thimphu

      3. April in Bhutan ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Nach einer für die meisten angenehmen Nacht ging es auf 2.500 m zu einer 52 m hohen sitzenden Buddhastatue, es folgten eine Stuppa (Andachtsturm), ein Blick auf den Tashichho-Dzong (eine frühere Klosterburg, heute Regierungszentrale und Wohnsitz des Königs); der Besuch der Nationalbiblothek, einer Kunsthandwerkschule, dem Gemüsemarkt, Mittagessen und Zeit in der Innenstadt zum Einkaufen. Dazwischen waren wir in der Hauptpost (GPO), wo neben dem Besuch einer Ausstellung die Möglichkeit angeboten wurde sich Briefmarken mit dem eigenen Konterfei zu machen... 😉

      Solange wir in Indien waren, haben wir die Verpflegung selbst bezahlt, auch wenn sie öfter gemeinsam organisiert war. D. h. wir hatten einen gewissen Einfluß darauf, was jede:r einzelne bekam. In Bhutan ist jetzt alles Teil des package, das heißt, es gibt für alle das gleiche und das ist leider eher europäische Küche mit Tendenz zur Schonkost.

      Da ich mit Harald in Kalimpong schon mal in einem guten buthanesischem Restaurant war, wollte ich das auch hier erleben und suchte ich mir bei TripAdvisor ein Lokal in Fussentfernung zum Hotel.

      Wer das Fleisch erkennt, darf es in die Kommentare schreiben. Auflösung im nächsten Footprint. 😉      Weiterlesen

      Day 63 - Paro and Thimphu

      9. November 2023 in Bhutan ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

      Bhutan is a breath of fresh air (literally) after India. Everything is very orderly and the buildings are all beautiful with intricate artwork. Motorcycled to Thimphu this morning - first heading up the valley to get used to the bike, and then along the main road to the capital (population 200,000). There's only one crossroads in Thimphu, Instead of traffic lights there is a man in uniform and white gloves in the middle very 'gracefully' controlling the traffic.
      After lunch at the hotel, we went to see one of the largest Buddha statues in Asia (with another 100,000+ Buddha's inside), and then to see the Bhutan's national animal - the taxin (a cross between a goat and a cow). Finished the afternoon with a wander around the shops in Thimphu.      Weiterlesen

      Topo 6; Topo 7

      16. November 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      I mentioned the farm was prosperous. They have a side business that offers herbal baths, in a wooden tub, with water heated by river stones. The four of us are looking for something extra after the hike and this seems like a fun thing to do. We all get a look at the backside of the tubs and where they heat the stones. All you have to do is yell out Topo 6 to get more hot stones in your bath water and a hotter tub. Dianne and I share a room with 2 baths. So do Liz and Alan. I’m in tub 6 and she is in tub 7. I yell out topo 6 and soon I have more hot stones in my tub along with some fresh herbs. Just between you and me, the herbs could have been weeds grown at the side of the road, but whatever, they smelled nice. Dianne yells out topo 7 and more stones and weeds appear for her. Between the four of us we keep our boy pretty busy for 45 minutes or so. Topo means more stones in case you havens guessed. It felt great after the hike.Weiterlesen

      Thimphu

      14. November 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      After a long day, we decide to interact with the locals. For Dianne and Liz that means shopping and for Alan and me it means walking without purpose. I have a camera with me and snap a picture of a traffic cop who looks like he likes his job. Pretty zen fellow. As this is happening, the solar powered dogs come alive. It’s a commotion that draws my attention. What the local mutts are pissed about is some uppity dog riding in the back of a truck. There is a gang of them surrounding the truck barking, some standing on hind legs looking into the truck bed. The dog in the truck is no ordinary dog either. It’s a St. Bernard, with a very deep woof, when it deems to speak. The sound of this woof gets the local mutts on an even rowdier splurge. Who does he think he is riding in that truck and all while the rest of us have to paw and limp our way around here like paupers? Eventually 3 monks arrive at the vehicle, get in and drive away with the St Bernard giving one last in your face woof to the chagrin of the solar dog gang. As all this is going on, the traffic cop stayed focused on his job, directing traffic. Never distracted.Weiterlesen

      National Memorial Chhorten

      14. November 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Things are slow to change in Bhutan. That was evident when we went to the Bank of Bhutan to exchange some money. I saw deposit slips and withdrawal slips all to be hand written for the said purpose. Getting our money changed was all hand recorded in a ledger. The style of buildings hasn’t changed and the height of buildings is limited by the constitution of the country.

      That being said, when they erected the Memorial Chorten in 1974 to honour the late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, they didn’t try to stretch the boundaries much. As you can see, it looks a lot like some of the other Stupas we have documented.      Weiterlesen

      Country Luncheon

      16. November 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      We have planned a tradition Bhutanese lunch today around a farm close to Paro. The farm seems prosperous considering the size of the farm house. We are led into a windowless room that is decorated with water carrying skins and a hide satchel, all from yesteryear. I think this could be interesting because I know DIanne is not as adventurous as I am when it comes to food and Liz and Alan eve less than she is. However, they are all polite. Should be fun.
      First on the menu is butter tea. They didn’t say what kind of butter; I immediately think Yak. The tea is strong and flavourful. For more enjoyment we add home made Rice Krispies to the tea. Its good, but you need a spoon to finish it. The food comes out all at once. Pumpkin soup, cooked radishes, steamed cabbage, pork belly, cheese chilli, (the national dish), beef with rice noodles and red rice. There was was way more food than we could eat. The most fun dish was the cheese chilli. It looked inviting and tame. Dianne got a little rice and a couple of forks full of it in her mouth before she realizes the heat that was generated by the chillies. Her eyes were watering as she pushed the rest of hers on to my plate.
      Everyone did great. We tried everything and ate our fill. There was a milk tea for cooling your mouth if needed. We were all hungry after our morning hike and this was the perfect meal.      Weiterlesen

      To the Tigers Nest (Taktsang Monastery)

      16. November 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ 🌙 6 °C

      Today is the day I’ve been looking foreword to for the whole trip. We are hiking to the Tigers Nest. It is a monastery located on the side of a cliff, overlooking the valley below. It is old and mythical and considered holy by most people, not just the Buddhists. Our hike starts fairly early. We started about 7:15 at an elevation of 8300 feet. The destination is about 9800 feet.

      Together we had talked a lot about this hike, among ourselves and with others who had done the hike. You can rent a donkey for the first part of the trek if you don’t think you are up to the whole thing, and some of us had considered that as we had some coughs and colds left over from India and Nepal. In the end though we all elected to walk. While we were walking, I noticed that some of the donkeys needed some motivating to keep going, a lot of motivating. It looked like the donkey motivator was pulling the donkey up the hill with a person on it.

      Our hike up the mountain started out chilly and got warmer as we progressed first from the sunrising and also from climbing. We took it slow and steady, taking breaks as we needed them. Didn’t take too long until we were out of our jackets and down to short sleeves. We stopped at the tea house for tea and a biscuit. Donkeys only go as far as the tea house and it gets steeper after that. We saw some donkey riders going on from there and some of them required motivators too.      Weiterlesen

      We did it!

      16. November 2019 in Bhutan ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      Descending the mountain is more dangerous, but less tiring than the climb. Even so, it is hot now and my quads are aching. We all rented some poles for the journey this morning and they do come in handy but as poles go, these are not much better than a stick you find on the trail. Sounds like the lament of a Prima Donna.Weiterlesen

      Thimphu

      9. Oktober 2018 in Bhutan ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      Mein Tag in Thimphu startete heute mit einem nicht zu verachtenden Aufstieg zu einem Mönchskloster. Von 2.300 m Höhe ging es rauf auf 2.800 m. Das macht sich schon bemerkbar... Aber der Ausblick in das Tal sowie das Kloster an sich, mit den Gesängen der Mönche, waren beeindruckend.

      Danach wurde dem National Memorial Chorten ein Besuch abgestattet, wo gerade eine der buddhistischen Zeremonien stattfand, was sehr spannend war mitzuerleben. Ich folgte Gili’s Anweisungen bei einigen Ritualen. Eine interessante Erfahrung und bestimmt nicht jedem Touristen möglich...

      Zum Abschluss des Tages haben wir noch eine Malschule besucht und waren bei einer der größten sitzenden Buddhastatuen. Überflüssig zu erwähnen, dass ich jeden Tag einen unglaublich großen Input in Sachen Bhuddismus, dessen Gottheiten, Lebensarten etc. erhalte. Ich kann mir das nur nicht alles merken und immer, wenn mich mein Guide fragt, bin ich froh, wenn ich ein wenig von dem wiedergeben kann, was er mir erzählt hat. 🙈

      Ach, was ich nach dem heutigen Mittagessen sagen kann. Der Amerikaner in Nagarkot hat nicht übertrieben. Das Essen ist scharf! Darauf angesprochen, erklärte mir Gili, dass Chili 🌶 sogar zum Frühstück gegessen wird und es definitiver Bestandteil der Küche Bhutan’s ist.      Weiterlesen
