Bhutan Trip-Part Deux.

Going to Bhutan means connecting with Nature. It's heartwarming to see 2 grown-up city bred men so excited about the "touch-me-not" plants that they discover along the path.

The mighty Himalayas look different in every season. At times, during monsoons, these mountains are not visible for days because of the cloud cover. I remember my dad used to tell us that "Hanumanji" has taken the mountains away.We've had relatives & friends come stay with us who could not see the mountains for days & were pleasantly surprised on a clear day when they showed their mighty heads.

The kind of flowers that grow in the wild there take my breadth away. The rice fields look like carpets that I want to lie down upon.

The mountain rivers are always atop our must-visit lists. As kids we used to wait for weekends & holidays just to go & have a picnic at the river. For Ansh the biggest attraction there is throwing stones into the water. We also found a patch of clay which Ansh used to made his castle. Of course the river also means romance :)
