DAY HIKE TO PHAJODHING
Hike to Phajodhing is one of the must do hike while in Bhutan. It is a day long hike and it is graded as medium hike. Even a physically challenged people can effort to opt for the hike as the trail is characterized by gentle and easy slope. The trail passes through the mixed forest of pine trees and Rhododendron. Same trail is used for the Druk Path Trek and the local people often walk up to Phajodhing temple to offer butter lamp and to pay homage during the religious days.
Hiking either from motithang or from the Sangaygang view point offers equal fascination over the natural scenes of Thimphu valley and the Mountain pass over Phajodhing. The trail still retains its virgin ambiance and one will really love hiking. Various chirping sound of birds can be heard on the way and the place also serves as the bird lover's paradise. The forest encompasses various species of flora and fauna.
Tashi Dorji and I started hiking from the back side of the sangaygang view during the sunny Sunday and the day had offered a perfect time to take a good pictures of natural scenes and I hope all of you will enjoy with the photographs. Both of us hiked for 5 hours leisurely taking good pictures of scenery spot. The day's hike ended with a cold rain shower and the trip marked a wonderful week end.
