Chele La Pass Hike

This highest hike for this trip starting at 3900+ m.

Was telling myself that I would switch focus to alpine flowers for this hike, but cant help that the big rain yesterday made the entire forest floor bloom with mushrooms 😅.

Didnt get a good shot of a small bird feeding a juvenile cuckoo. Caught a glimpse of a large group of blood pheasant scuttering across the forest floor.

Cold windy start at the trail head, very muddy trails, slippery rocks and several wet crossings. Rain came down half way in the trail ... but all worth it.

The hikes ends at the oldest nunnery in bhutan. We did not go up as the rain was getting heavier.
