Bhutan Part 2: Temples and Takins
After two days in Thimpu, we were still adjusting to the dramatic change from the mainly Hindu cultures of Nepal and India to this very different Buddhist kingdom. Bhutan is currently governed by a lineage of "Dragon Kings," starting in 1907, who have done much to...
Bhutan Part 1: A Vacation from Our Vacation
After crossing the hot dry plains of India, riding the Himalaya of Nepal, hiking a portion of the Annapurna circuit, and bike-train-bussing the final kilometers through Nepal and India to its northern border, we had made it to our final stop: Bhutan. Bhutan is a tiny...
Racing to Bhutan

2 Days in Varanasi, India
We arrived in Varanasi by train, 2nd train ride of our trip so far. It was expected to arrive at 12:30 a.m. but ultimately arrived at 3 a.m. which is to be expected in India and is understood. The local hotel had offered to send a car and they had kindly waited. This...
