Crossing Bhutan - The Kingdom in the Clouds, Land of Dragons

Bill Gette has visited the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan three times: what an awe-inspiring place! During his most recent trip, he traveled the length of the country entering in the east from Assam State, India, and concluded his adventure at the Tiger’s Nest in the west. Bill will share his photographs of the country’s beautiful wildlife (e.g., Blood Pheasant, Gould’s Sunbird, Plumbeous Redstart, Stripe-throated Yuhina, Gray Langur), magnificent scenery, and inspirational religious art and architecture. He will also recount some of his exciting adventures, such as crossing the Thrumshingla Mountain Pass (12,402 feet above sea level) in a blinding snowstorm, watching ceremonial dances, hearing the chants and music in historic temples, and hiking to the Tiger’s Nest, one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in Buddhism.
