We woke up to a huge downpour of rain and were quite relieved that our camping days were over before they started. We bade our 10 trekking mates farewell and met with our new guide and driver. We went back to Thimphu, checked into the first of four Amankora hotels we would be staying at and ate a delicious lunch (nothing like an Aman hotel after you have committed yourself to heated rooms and a dry bed ).
After, we climbed to a Buddhist university. Monks live and learn there full time. We entered the temple and observed the Buddha surrounded by bodhisattvas and all of the food and money offerings. The university is built into the mountain side and is such a calm and tranquil place.
