View of Thimphu from Cycle Ride
Managed to arrange bicycles for a ride from a hill near Takin reserve down to the Indian consulate and further to the main market area in Thimphu. Except for the last leg which was uphill, it was a nice ride downhill in the crisp early evening air at Thimphu with some nice views of Thimphu outskirts thrown in.

Changing colours of the leaves from the morning walk

Pictures from the morning walk today As the winter recedes, one can see several changes around. The leaves start changing their colours and ultimately they take a bow. There is this tree near our place which throws up spectacular transition of colours around this time each year. Happened to pick up some nice pictures today morning. (shot on Fujifilm X100V)

Bhutan is clearly proud of its culture and heritage and makes sure that it is not only protected but there is honour and dignity associated with it.
