Trekking in Bhutan

We joined a group of students from Vanguard College and Azusa Pacific University, on a trek in the Phobjikha Valley for three days -- wonderful and physically-fit time! We celebrated July Fourth at a campsite near a babbling brook in a very remote valley in Bhutan. Pack horses carried all our gear, and guides set up the tents and cooked great Bhutanese food: boiled ferns, pork, vegetables, rice. The monsoon weather cooperated, with rain mostly at night. We hiked over 2 mountain passes, over 10000 feet in altitude; yesterday we slipped and slided down a steep muddy path over 3000 feet down to the river, where the bus was waiting to take us back to the capital city. A wonderful cooperative group, led by Rainbow Tours.
