Bhutan_Wangdiphodrang Monastery

At Wangdiphodrang Dzong (monastery) built in the 1600s which was burnt down in 2012 due to short circuit in wiring within the monastery. It is still under restoration. I am standing on the foundation of the dzong where the monastery used to stand. However, the main chamber is almost complete and we were glad that we were able to offer our prayers. 

Bhutan and Britian

Today on April 10, 2016, the present king of Bhutan carried a 55kg sandlewood box to Chari Monastery which is about an hour hike from the main road. Shown in the upper image. The box will be used for holy purposes in the temple. There are many reasons why the people in Bhutan love the king. But above all, it is because the king loves his citizen. 

Meanwhile, Bhutan awaits to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Britain. 💕🇧🇹🇬🇧

Bhutan's Longest Suspension Bridge

Pochu Zam (bridge over the male river) is the longest suspension bridge in Bhutan. It is located in Punakha. Pochu (male river) and Mochu (female river) surround Punakha dzong (Punakha monastery) and there is a beautiful bridge over both the rivers. There is a wooden cantilever bridge over the female river and this iron suspension bridge over the male river. The greenish river flows below the bridge exquisitely. That was my day out in my PJ.
