Bhutan.

Bhutan is surprisingly modern with a population of 800,000. The sights are interesting with glimpses of the Himalayas in the distance.

Lots of Buddhist monasteries and Stupas to visit.

I really enjoyed seeing local dancers showcase their traditional dances but I'm finding the food can be challenging if you don't like chillies. 

I chose not to climb to the Tiger's Nest monastery this morning as I'm finding the altitude has affected me and a 6 hour return hike on steep terrain didn't appeal. I was surprised that I managed Machu Picchu in June but this trek is twice as long. You can see it perched on the side of the mountain in the distance in the middle photo. 

Some people chose to ride horses up but they can only go half way with horses and you have to climb back on your own.  Tomorrow we leave on another long drive to the border with India and I'll be home Saturday evening, so it's just a quick trip to see Bhutan but I  think I've covered the majority of the sights here.
