21st Morning in P/Ling Bhutan

Hi again, this is Aditya & Siri reporting again from Phuentsholing , Bhutan. We got up early and had a wonderful breakfast with Toast and Jam/Butter followed by a cup of coffee. We later had our guide Mr. Sonam who came to pick us up. We later were escorted to the Immigration office to obtain our route permits. Our photos were clicked and our route permit should be available to us at about 12 PM today following which we shall leave for Thimphu the capital of Bhutan. It is expected to take about 8 hours (which includes a few stops) to reach Thimphu and we will have our lunch enroute.

The weather in P/Ling is very unpredictable, it rains with a strong down pour and the very next moment it's hot and shining. I have been told that such weather exists across Bhutan. Today morning we met a person who works with Soligas in BR Hills and it was a nice little chat. We are waiting right now so that our permits come through and following this we shall leave for Thimphu.

Will keep you guys posted on the progress!
