Date of Journey - 15.August.2018
Duration of video - 05:11
At around 02.00pm we start from our first pit-stop which was at the Doejun Paksam Hotel where the driver and we, the co-passengers had our lunch.
The video starts with the majestic view of the small Gedu town and then the expansive view of the college of the Royal University of Bhutan i.e., Gaedu College of Business Studies comes at 00:11 second of the broadcast.
This is the most longest video of the five series Time-lapse of drive to Paro from Phuntsholing but also the most interesting part of the five - six hour long drive from Phuntsholing to Paro.
As we drive through some intense rain and cross quite a few foggy patches in the hill; we had to take our next short pit-shop at Chukha Thegchen Zam (Bridge) where the immigration papers are checked again.
The drive gets more interesting and pleasant after crossing the Chukha Thegchen Zam (Bridge) inagurated on 22nd October 1982 with clear sky and good road conditions to cross the most highest point of the Phuntsholing - Thimpu Highway (between Chukha and Bunakha).
The last bit of the recording is between Chukha and Bunakha where the soil is loose & rocky and this zone is also frequent landslide prone area. What’s more a few road side waterfalls visible gives an incredible end to the video.
In the next part of the series we complete the travel in Chukha Dzongkhag (District) and cross over into Paro Gewog (Block or group of villages as called in Bhutan) traveling via - Bunakha, Chapcha and ending the video at Chuzom (Confluence of Paro Chu and Thimpu Chu to form Wang Chu).
