Bhutan: A tale of beauty or peace

February 25th. When I got down from the auto and ran to the Jaigaon Indian Immigration Office, it was five o'clock in the evening at six o'clock. The tough-looking Indian immigration officer repeatedly shakes his hand, watches, memorizes what he says in his hard-edged English, "And don't say hello, Bapu, immigration is six o'clock, so close. This time it means straight out of here." " This is a hassle for budget travelers like us.

Whatever the wish, there is no compulsion to rent a jeep for five thousand rupees from Bangladesh border to Bhutan border. Essentially, the bus from Bimari to Changabandha, then bypassed Mainaguri on the local bus. But after standing for an hour in the sun without getting a bus, he returned to the opposite route to the locality at Mainaguri-Falakata and Jaygaon. The Indo-Bhutan border on this Jayagate, which was no longer crossed for 5 minutes 5 minutes late.

However, India-Bhutan Open Border, when desired to enter from one country to another, is not barred. It was noon for morning, I just crossed the Bhutan Gate after checking into the hotel. Futsoling, a small town in Bhutan. Crossing the gate and stumbling there, where did I come from, my father! It is not just a concrete door, but one magic that has brought you into another world! Just a few feet apart, but how different. The intense noise of the hitchhike-carriage of that side-garbage garbage-odor-polluted air, no sign of anything can be found in fontsoling. The bright clear road, the quiet quiet surroundings of the surroundings, the dimly lit mountains, and a chilly red wine shop on the side of the road, will suddenly tell you, "Welcome to the land of peace."

However, you can stumble on the table! The most popular food of Bhutanese is 'Thupka'. That's a weird thing; Rice-Noodles-Fish-Meat-Vegetables-Vegetable-Stir All cooked together to make a meal. Pork is very common here, they usually understand the meaning of pork, so when eating with food, it is best to eat choumin or a spit of vegetables only. The next morning, the morning after completing immigration, the Sitter Bolero reserve jeep left for Thimpur.

This six-hour tour was one of the best road journeys of my life. Plain-hills-jungle-valley-river-what's not in the way! On the way there will be some public awareness signboards of the Bhutanese government's intriguing joke every two to one kilometers. The purpose of raising this awareness is to drive safely. In Bhutan this thing is taken very seriously, because almost all the roads are made up of steep hills, with sharp bends; As well as excluding some very important and exceptional fields, playing the car horn is completely banned in this country! There are some other strange rules and folk practices that can be found there. For example, smoking is strictly prohibited in Bhutan, even though alcohol is legal.

In essence, this is to prevent environmental pollution. For the same reason no large scale industry has developed in Bhutan. In the twenty-first century, the country is the only 'carbon-negative' country. Between the two industrialists 'Asian monsters', such as India and China, the country has been preserving its natural equality. But economically Bhutan is completely dependent on India. The extent of this dependence is so much that the Indian rupee goes higher than its own currency 'Gultram'!

Thimpu episode

Even at the end of winter, the temperature drops to two or three degrees Celsius in the evening, with the night rising below freezing. So when I arrived in Thimphu, the hotel was just right when I got out, so there are no people on the road. Thimphu, as a capital city, will be as big as any of our district towns in terms of colleges. But hundreds of cars parked all the way across the street and all the strangely beautiful buildings on both sides of the street tell of its abundance.

A capital city that can be so quiet and peaceful, no one will understand unless they come to Thimphu. No worries, no fuss, no fuss. In all of Bhutan, however, there is not much need if one does not yell at each other loudly, do not laugh out loud or laugh. The city, the people of the city, are in such a way as to be quiet, as if immersed in a deep spirituality. Of course, in a country where human progress is not measured by money or economic indicators, it is measured with peace of mind, it is only natural to be the capital of that country!

At night, the cold air and the harmonious nightclub or the soft music floating in the karaoke make sure to see the Drake Gallery and the Clock Tower. Good to say, Bhutan is famous all over the world for its 'brew' quality and cheap prices. Except for the big shops, not even oil, salt, soap can be found at the grocery stores along the way, but the bottles of different brands of colors and colors will match! This way you can walk to the National Archery Ground. This is the archery of the national game of Bhutan. In the night, only a few bulbs of light are kept 1/5 meters away at the target, hitting bulls one after another. The archers here, which will surprise you every moment. We traveled further to Thimphu, to Buddha Point, Tashijo Jung, Simatokha Jung, Kings Memorial Chorten, King's Palace, a museum, the city's Allegheny, the unspoiled Douchu-la Pass and Takin Reserve Ju.

Buddha Point Thimpur is a huge Buddha statue on a hill outside. From here, the whole Thimphu city comes to the eye of the bird, and with it the huge golden goddess, a feeling of supernatural inferiority deepens in the mind. Tachijo Jung is the most important of Bhutan and the most important is Jang. Jung refers to an establishment in which the temple and important government offices or ministries operate.

Talkin Reserve Ju is exactly the same name, in fact there is nothing more than a 'talkin'. This 'talkin' looks a lot like our Ramschagl, a grass-fed beast of the same nature, which is the national animal of Bhutan. Without knowing the realities of "goats roaming the fields, eating grass" without knowing the real thing - we cut off a 1-rupee ticket, thinking of ourselves as goats every time we think of it!

Punaka episode

Punakha, the former capital of Bhutan. When the temperature of the country is near or below zero, in Punakha, in Punakha, it is still hot at 20-20 degrees Celsius. Mainly because of this temperature, Punakha is so varied during winter. In between all the big mountains, there is a beautiful green valley, with transparent rivers of green and blue water - Complete Package! Bhutan's biggest rust is in Punakha. This is a beautiful burial ground inside. Although the country is as if it seems that everything is in a state of deep meditation; "Om Namah Padme Hem" in the voice of spiritual beauties and newly-minted baby monks is truly another world, a true Sangrilla!

Even if people like Bill Gates or Carlos Buffett are left in it for a week, they also seem to have forgotten the day-to-day business and business of forgetting to put "absolute happiness, putting absolute peace" on the Padmas. Will be lying down! There are two rivers in Punakhat - Mo-Choo (Female River) and Pho-Choo (Mail River). On the top of Mo-Choo is the Punakha Bridge - the longest suspension bridge in the world. Can't say that the bridge is so unusually beautiful. It would seem to just cross the bridge all day long, sitting in the middle of the wind blowing the world! In fact, how to cut it all day - in the water of the bridge and the river, you will not get any.

This afternoon and evening can be your best moment in Bhutan. You can spend the whole afternoon rafting in the hilly Himalayan glacial upside down rivers in the mountainous terrain. If luck is to be found, we can get an instructor like us whose meditation is just to float around in the most dangerous places in the world! Along with his command, when turning a bend, go downfalls, and the currents will literally throw your whale to the ground a little later - I can speak, returning home with a memory that will last forever.

Paro the great

Paro is one of the coldest places in Bhutan. Even when the winter is over, minus four / five degrees Celsius is normal here. The main attraction of Paro is Chelala Pass and Tigers Nest. Chelala Pass is the highest motorable road in Bhutan, about 12,000 feet in height. After taking more than 1/5 second hand gloves to take a picture of the cold intensity, one and a half minutes, rubbing the palms of two hands seemed to bring it back! However, the road to this Chelala Pass was almost heavenly, and soon after the departure, 'Gods rays' and frozen snowflakes were seen. That day was February 26; On this occasion, suddenly the driver of the car will change the Bhutanese song and remember to catch 'Bangladesh Betar Rangpur' on FM.

The next day you can do a little trekking at the Tigers Nest. It is a strange monastery, or monastery of saints, at an altitude of about 5,000 feet. Literally hanging on a cliff as if the whole installation! One of the oldest monasteries in Bhutan. How many years ago this thing was made on a steep hill about 5 degrees so high - thinking that the whole trek would be over, but the thought would not end! So you can think of the last one before coming to the end of the wrong path and climb up another hill.But the fatigue of that one-hour hike will be exhausted by getting an incredibly beautiful Bird's Eye view of 'Tigers Nest' from the top. So, to take a picture of a millennium ancient monastery from this rare angle or the entire valley below from a high peak, you can at least give a foothold in this deliberate mistake.

Then just come back - from Paro to Thimphu. Bhutan is the only airport to go to Thimphu. This high-altitude airport is one of the most dangerous airports in the world, with some pilots all over the world and some of Druk Airways' pilots without the necessary skills to land a pilot or aircraft! If there is time on hand you can wait for a while to see the thrill of landing at the airport. Then run again - Fontsoling from Thimphu. At the end of the immigration of Jaigarh again, the locality was covered with Changrabandha-Burimari. But in the deep of the mind will remain true to the wonderful wild beauty of Bhutan; The words of the happiest people in Asia - those who do not have the same feelings, ambitions, disappointments, disappointments and disappointments with life; Thank you hundreds of unwanted or misbehaving people who will say 'thank you' with a sweet smile on their face.

Those with endless patience will stop the car until you cross the zebra crossing, no matter how long it takes, to give the little one horn in annoyance. If you are standing on the pavement, your head will respectfully stand in front of you, but do not say to move your face - lest you suffer! The only ones that have been sought throughout life - peace, pure peace.
