Thick blanket of clouds over the eastern Himalaya, flying into Bhutan
  • 10 years ago
The descent into Paro airport in Bhutan is a precipitous affair for any pilot - he or she has to suddenly negotiate a steep descent into the relatively narrow valley, dropping altitude rapidly after crossing the steep ridges before.

In the distance, one can see the peaks of western Bhutan. Please help us identify them - are those peaks Chomolhari (7314 m), Gangkar Punsum (7570 m) or Jitchu Drake? The treks that range up to the bases of these peaks are the valleys of Lingshi, Laya and Lunana.
