Date of Journey - 15.August.2018

Duration of video - 00:45

We start for our final touch down to the final destination which was the View Point Lodge located opposite to the Taktsang Resort on the road Taktsang road.

The sun was shining down into its twilight as the time was around 4:00 - 4.15 pm as we start leaving the Paro township and drove through the outskirts of Paro town.

In our 8 kms trip we stopped twice in-between to take running school kids who wanted the lift to the next village. Both groups were school going students returning back home after eventful day at school as per the quick chats we had in the short trip.

Finally reached the View Point Lodge booked via Airbnb however the room allotted '304' had no view at all. Though the room and the furniture provided wasn’t bad but this room didn’t do at all the justice to the name of the homestay; it had a small parking space view.

After a discussion with owner of the property and on request he spoke to his family and friends. He finally fixed me up at a decent hotel in the middle of the Paro city, Hotel Phunsum with a fantastic view of the Paro valley.

While getting dropped to that particular hotel; I saw a sublime ‘Rainbow’ which I actually was telling to myself last day or that day morning before entering Bhutan that it’s been quite sometime I saw a ‘Rainbow’. And finally I did!!

(This video doesn’t have the Rainbow view)

Part IV | Time-lapse Video | Drive | Phuntsholing to Paro | Bhutan

This is the ‘Fourth’ of 'Five' series Time-lapse video of drive to Paro from Phuntsholing, Bhutan

Start of Time-lapse: Chuzom Bridge, Paro Gewog, Paro - Thimpu Highway End of Time-lapse: Paro Town, Paro Gewog, Paro - Thimpu Highway Date of Journey - 15.August.2018 Duration of video - 02:19 We started after a short pit stop break from the Chuzom Bridge at around 3:00 in the afternoon. The sun rays were directly falling on the windshield giving a good view of the distant mountains graded out in heavy greyish colour clouds. As we cross the 00:50 sec mark in the video the outskirts of Paro and traditional style houses, SUV foreign vehicles, small & big road side shops and buildings are started to be seen. Airport of Bhutan is also situated at Paro just 5 kms before the city and one of the passenger did get down at north of Paro airport. The rest of the two passengers got down at in the main Paro Town near the taxi stand. Pema; the driver enquired from the locals near the Bharat Petroleum Pump about my location of homestay. After some enquiry he came to know that the homestay / lodge is on the Taktsang Road, which is another 8 kms away from the Paro city. Strangely this homestay (View Point Lodge), which I had booked via Airbnb didn’t had this properly listed on Google Maps. Background Score Credits: Tibet - HOVATOFF
