where phrases like "life altering" or "trip of a lifetime" or "culture shock" don't really express what Bhutan is. For me it was like getting struck by lightning, nothing since remains the same.
I did the hike up to Taktsang ("Tigers Nest&quot my first day in country, and forgot I still had on my Nicotine patch I wore for the long flight the day before, darn near killed me by the time I remembered.
Taktsang is seeped in myth and magic and even the air you breathe is electric.
