A Lesson: To Be Patient Be patient… You will get it definitely. I know, some people might be thinking, why so? I will get back to you. Through this trail, I want to share, how a journey speaks off about the obstacles, a country is facing. Let me take you towards the far-off lands, in Bhutan. I did not travel to Paro, Thimpu, Phuentosholing but my concern was just to know the reality lies within backwoods. My journey started from Gwalior, then to Delhi. I took a train from Delhi to Guwahati. From there, I took a cab to reach Samdhrup Jonghkar, the border of India and Bhutan and further took another cap for Trashigang- the Jewel of the eastern Bhutan . Honestly speaking, Bhutan is the reflection of heavenly paradise. A country on the mountains ... read more

The night's sleep proved most effective, still I'm not doing too well. I wake up with a headache and a slight stomach pain, the voice is still out of order, the throat is soar and I keep sneezing a lot. Still, the climate here in Mongar is much warmer than in Bumthang and it doesn't hamper my mood. After a slow start we go out to take a look at the local dzong before moving on towards Trashigang. The Mongar dzong is a fairly new construction, built as late as in 1953. The original dzong was located in Shongar near Lingmethang which we passed through yesterday. The dzong is located above the city and the view from here is quite nice, blue sky with fluffy little white clouds. Compared to the historical dzongs the Mongar dzong ... read more
