WITH DEEPEST REGRET, I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU PATRICIA PASSED AWAY ON JUNE 12, 2017. MAY THESE ENTRIES, SO LOVINGLY MADE BY PATRICIA, BE AN EVERLASTING TRiBUTE TO A PHENOMENAL, HUMANIST WOMAN.

Bhutan ....
Of course Tiger Nest hike is a must. I still have to blog about it and also about my time at Haa Valley, which I loved. Very quiet, still untouched, but it's a very long, tiring day to explore it. Panahka Valley is very nice as well and worth a trip. Thimphu attractions were not that interesting to me, so can be skipped. Have a great trip.
