The Journey East
The multi-day trip to Eastern Bhutan began with a visit to paradise: Punakha. Despite all apperances to the contrary, this picture has not been Photoshopped:
From Punakha to Wangdue, from Wangdue to frost-glittered Bumthang, from Bumthang to the top of the world. Our trip's zenith was 124000 feet. This is the view from the top:
From there we proceeded down into the jungle where we saw monkeys. Then came the craziest, scariest drive ever toward Mongar. (Mom, don't even look at the picture!)
Thanks to Dorjii's incredible driving we arrived safely in Mongar where we spent a lovely final night with our fellow BCF'rs. Then, in the morning, we took the last leg of our journey to Home Sweet Trashiyangtse.

124000 feet is space? Are you sure? Mount Everst is in the 30000-foot range.
