1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #237

- Thimphu, Bhutan

 

(The first glimpses of the royal capital of Bhutan, Thimphu, were in sight and just look at that "traffic light" system..the cop with the white gloves does the job, and there is only one of him in this city of about 110,000. With a cool 24C temperature, it was a nice stroll through all the sidewalks, off the main street. Our hotel was the delightful Namseling boutique hotel, located a convenient 10min walk away. But look at the view from the room - the Golden Buddha sitting on the mountaintop, some 5km away)
