Choki is blowing smoke through the window. Outside, it's raining as it has been for days. The Wang Chhu River rises every day and it's only time until the floods reach Bangladesh. Except it's hard to remember Bangladesh while in Bhutan. It's hard to ... Read more >

Last Day –
Dec 11 2010
We left
Punakha for Paro at around 8.00. The weather was great. On the way we met some
monkeys and stopped for a short while at Dochula Pass. It was so cloudy that

Day 7 – Dec
10 2010
The day did
not start so early. We woke up at 6 drove to Gasa Dzongkhag. It was a misty

some images out of the environment. There was a ... Read more >

Day 6 – Dec
9 2010
Today was a
very special day of the trip. We woke up at 4.30 am to go and photograph the
White Bellied Hereon. Much rarer than the Black Necked Cranes, these birds had
a humble population of only 26 in Bhutan. According ... Read more >

Day 5 – Dec
8 2010
This morning
we woke up at 5.30 for a crane shoot again. Like in an operation, Jason and I
slowly and secretly went a long way around to sneak close to the flock of
cranes in the centre of the wetland. Afterwards, ... Read more >

Day 4 – Dec
7 2010
I was well
awake at 5.30 am. The sub-zero temperature plus the dark sky promised an
adventure. We were “shooting” the Black Necked Cranes this morning. From the
road looking down, the highest wetland in the world looked ... Read more >

Day 3 – Dec
6 2010
In the
morning I went across some early shops which sell various items. After walking
around, we ended at the Clock Tower of Thimphu. It is noticeable that
everywhere in Bhutan has a religious imprint. I spotted ... Read more >

Day 2 – Dec
5 2010
7.00 am – I
didn’t sleep much, thanks to the dogs barking all night outside the hotel. It’s
quite strange that you can see dogs almost everywhere around here. Anyway, a walk
around the hotel shows me an interesting ... Read more >

Day 1 – Dec 4 2010 7.15 am – I was just in time for the flight from Bangkok to Paro. Only halfway through the flight did I meet Mr. Jason Edwards and Mr. Simon Monk. We got to know each other and enjoyed the landscape outside the window. Far away, ... Read more >

Ok, so he was about 100 meters away and the Bhutan King Police asked me to put away my camera, but still. He's soooo handsome, like a movie star. Today is National Day and the big celebration is here in Timphu. I will try to share some pics, if I ... Read more >
