After bike ride to Chelela Pass it was relaxing day, just side seeing and most importantly its was new year evening. Plan was all set and we were camping near Punakha. Plan for the day was just side seeing around Thimpu and reach Punakha. Punakha is around 85 Kms from Thimpu. Finishing our breakfast headed towards Punakha, our first stop for the day was near National Memorial Hall at Thimpu.   Next stop was near Dochula Pass, The most well-known pass in Bhutan and it’s located about 30 km away from the Thimpu.   Dochula Pass: The pass is a popular location among tourists as it offers a stunning 360 degree panoramic view of Himalayan mountain range.

It is common to see f...

Kumara Parvatha trek is considered as the paradise for trekkers. It was in bucket list from long time, finally got a change to tick this, when my registration was accepted by Banglore Acenders.  This was my first trek with this group, but never felt I was traveling with a group of strangers. That’s the specialty about this team!  For a change, my brother Kiran also joined me for this trek. We were informed to assemble at common pick up point near Shantal Silks Mejestic at 9.00 PM. Because of long weekend and a huge traffic jam around Mejestic by the time every one gathered it was around 11.30 PM, for couple of us trek was already started from Bangalore itself.
