Mist on the path


Bhutan highlights - 3 of 10

The beauty of the place is mindnumbing... Here a pony caravan is coming down fromt the pass Bale La - a 'low' pass at only 4000m - incredibly atmospheric stuff. The ponys know the way of course and the little ones follow mum for the first few. For the ponies the trips would last from a a few days to a few weeks. On this day we gained 700m then dropped 1700m to the hot springs at Gaza - a big day. Gaza was really the symbolic end of the trek.
