Misty Mountain Hop
BHUT10D-194
November 19, 2010
This is turning into Bhutan week, so I think I'll continue the trend of images from last November's trip out to the rugged countryside of this Asian nation. Inevitably, to get anywhere in Bhutan, you have to traverse the mountains. The country lies on the eastern side of the Himalaya range, and while it might not have the highest peaks in the world, you still climb up and down some steep places on small roads. Here we were moving past Dorchula Pass, just north of the 10,000' mark, and the wind picked up, blowing this incredible fog from the lower elevations. It gave the entire scene a haunted atmosphere, which actually worked perfectly with the memorial that was at the pass. Enjoy.
