Phil's All Embracing Bhutan Slide Show
Scenes from Thimphu



Here our group waits while our luggage is loaded for our journey to Punakha. In the foreground, you can clearly see the knee-length 'gho' that Bhutanese men wear (by decree of the king), as being fashioned here by Benchen Khenpo and the fellow to whom he is conversing.


Before we left Thimphu, we made a stop at a paper factory to see how it is done locally. Across the street was a technical institute, and here are some of the students are learning the building trade. Notice that there is no glass ceiling in the building trade in Bhutan.
