Bhutan Punakha - Paro

 We feel that market are always a great place to watch people. This weekend market was right next to our hotel.











































Dzong  - built in 1637










Our guide




































We didn't go there, the name was not appealing


We walked passed the fields to go to the temple of fertility Chimi Lhakang








The ashes of your beloved one are made in little 'pies' for the lack of a better word. They are then placed somewhere sacred, for example next to a turning wheel.









This bird also likes the temple, as a home



Stopped on the way at a shop





A popular snack, dried cheese; horrible.
 


Fresh asparagus


(all fruit and vegetables are organic in Bhutan - by decree - and tasty)

















Entrance to the national museum









 












Our hotel. An old big farm house, you can clearly see the empty space under the roof, typical for the style

Hotel garden



View from the hotel



Everywhere nice details

Tasty white local beer
