Ok that was an exaggeration, it was 3000ft above the Paro Valley in Bhutan, roughly 9km round trip hike (some parts steep, some parts ok), and 750 steps down/up) to the majestic monastery perched precariously on the side of a cliff - the Tiger's Nest!
.
For someone who didn't train and had hiked/ trekked maybe ONCE in my life at outward bound school aged 13, I was PRETTY proud of myself and @mint_g !

Pictures do NO justice to this magnificent ancient architectural spiritual structure! Did i see the crystallised clarity my naive mind was searching for?... can't say i did. BUT Bhutan gave me so much more:
.
1.Friendship (our tour guides @druk_nim @i_m_bhutanese were there EVERY step of the way, answering every whim, questions that popped into our minds), and they did so with absolute genuine patience (cuz BOY we had a tonne of questions!)
.
2. Gratitude (for a place where people thought the way they did, unperturbed by the many distractions of the current world and the speed at which it's moving
.
3. Negative Carbon emission (I mean common right?!)
.
I could go on but it'll take me 3 days
.
Perhaps, this pandemic is teaching us to look back, to move forward? Be content, connect more with human, not phone. If you have to, with phone or computers - relay the right messages, and use digitisation for the good of man? (Much like how we are being shoved into improving e-commerce, online everything right now).

THANK YOU BHUTAN
I wish you well and I hope to see you AGAIN!
