Bhutan, Land of the Thunder Dragon

A long winding drive this morning took us to Chele La pass, the highest road pass in Bhutan at just under 4000 m.

From here we trekked down 5 km to Kila Goenpa Nunnery. The day was sunny and the views were gorgeous.

Even though it was mostly down I still took many pauses to catch my breath.

Had a little temple visit followed by some tea provided by the nuns.

Lunch was beside the car park…

…then back to town to pop into the national museum housed in a repurposed defence tower on a mountainside.

Some very cool items:

…and I saw my stamps from 55 years ago on display!

Life is good.
