Bhutan

I had to pinch myself to make sure I was almost there.. only another 45 minutes up and down more hillside stairs at this point in the trip. When I finally made it to the highest point of Tigers Nest, upper right building, a monk was sitting there meditating with his eyes closed, I leaned out the window, over looking the valley below and screamed at the top of my lungs, "I MADE IT! He almost fell out the window. "

Woo hoo.. almost there

Once you get to the top of the mountain then you have to go down hundreds and hundreds of narrow stairs

Now it is stairs up again

More stairs

Halfway point with a small stop for tea or coffee

A cold beer never tasted so good and so did the catered lunch at the bottom of the climb. Delicious. I built up one heck of an appetite.

This evening before dinner, at Tashi Phuntshok Hotel, we had local entertainment
