Colin Daniels takes us to the seldom visited Kingdom of Bhutan. His main objective was to take a five day hike between Paro and the capital Thimpu, but we will also visit some of the major tourist sites including a walk up to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery to make sure that he could cope with the hike.
The meeting is open to all u3a members, but please let Colin English know if you will be attending to ensure that there is adequate seating by clicking here
