The trip took about two hours and traversed some amazing river valleys and mountain ranges. We stayed at the Zey Zang hotel. Thimpu is the capital of Bhutan and the home of the current king. It’s the “big city” baby! Thinley took us around the city showing us the vegetable market and some other sites and at the same time taking care of business regarding visa extension and travel permits. It was a strange mix of tradition and modernization, ranging from construction to fashion. From Thimpu we again got on the institute bus and started our ten hour bus journey to Bumthang.
