Curious Boho

We started our drive to Paro at our usual time of 9am from Punakha and got there around lunch time. Enroute we stopped at the Simtokha monastery built by the person who unified Bhutan and it was one of the first fort monasteries to be built. It has witnessed and partially survived attacks by Tibetans and now houses all the ancient scriptures. Upon reaching Paro and after a quick lunch at the hotel we wanted to visit a monastery nearby called Kyichu Lhakhang. We got a good guide who took us around and explained the meaning of all the deities and rituals. As soon as you enter the courtyard you see 2 orange trees and the guide told us that these trees bear fruit all through the year; irrespective of the season. We were also just in time to witness many monks who were chanting prayers and the rhythm of it feels divine. This monastery in particular brought in a sense of peace and calm; maybe that’s why its one of the most sacred monasteries. After spending some time wandering around Paro
