Bill Gette has visited the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan three times. What an awe-inspiring place it is! During his most recent trip, he traveled the length of the country entering in the east from Assam State, India, and concluded his adventure at the Tiger’s Nest in western Bhutan.

Bill will share his photographs of the country’s beautiful wildlife (e.g., Blood Pheasant, Gould’s Sunbird, Plumbeous Redstart, Stripe-throated Yuhina, Gray Langur), magnificent scenery, and inspirational religious art and architecture. He will also recount some of his exciting adventures such as crossing the Thrumsingla mountain pass (12,402 feet above sea level) in a blinding snow storm, watching ceremonial dances, hearing the chants and music in historic temples, and hiking to the Tiger’s Nest, one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in Buddhism.
