Day 1

Yesterday me and my friends slept early so we can arise early. But I can't sleep because of excitement. Today I am going to see the place which I only seen on internet. Probably when ever You search Bhutan on internet first picture you are going to see is of "TIGER NEST"

Time-- 10 am.. We all gathered in our bus. We told our tour guide the same person who was our driver also to come at 8 am so we can start trekking early. But some of us were not ready as usual. So we all seated in bus blaming each other for late. This is most fun part of every trip right.

Time-- 10:15 am.. we reached at the Trek starting point. Enroute we traveled thorough beautiful paro city, and also Alpine forests. After reaching there everyone started purchasing things for helping them in trip. Some people purchased wooden sticks, some purchased food items(This is most necessary cause for next some hour You are going to do really hard thing so ensure You have adequate amount of lite foods like cakes biscuits and some water). Meanwhile Our trip leader Mr. Sanjoy debnath came to us and asked for 500 rs. for ticket to Tiger nest. An important information for all of you. You have to pay 500 rs. just to enter in Tiger nest. You won't be asked for tickets in ur whole trekking route or even at the highest view point. Although I felt its bit high in terms of what we get to see Inside the monastery.

Time--10:30 am.. We started trekking... At the start we all like "WHERE IS THE TEMPLE"(iconic dialogue of movie Chennai Express). It was really so high. Well Just because we started we have to end it also. But the views while going upwards will heal all ur tiredness and pain.

Tip-- Keep eating lite foods and water to save yourself from dehydration, and please keep going cause the view after all this exhaustion, pain, tiredness,and sweat is just awesome, and also support the slower guys of groups cause they also have the equal right to witness the wonderful view.

Time--2:00 pm.. we reached the view point. Yes it took almost 3 hours to us to reach at view point. The view was totally mesmerising. We just can't get enough of the place. It was like a dream. That view was.... That view was... Well no words can describe that moment. Even the pictures can't justify the awesomeness of that place.

     We spend almost Two and a half hour there. As we paid 500 rs we must utilise every second of that moment. We entered inside the monastery. There are around 5 different places of worship inside, and the stairs inside the monastery were really hard to climb.

Time-- 4:30 pm... We started walking down. It was too late. As The sun was going down darkness started to take over light. We were so frightened that how can we trek back without light as the way towards starting point was really dangerous and without any saftey measures. One single wrong step can be result to a very bad injury. But we have to get back there was no any other choice. So we started walking, and beileve me this was most amazing experience I ever had. Fear and amusement two feeling at same time.

Time-- 6:45 pm... We reached at starting point with so many memories. This moment is going to be with me for lifetime.
      I know I am not a good writer. It is my first blog. I just shared what I felt out there.
