Trekking in Eastern Bhutan – Day 6 on Merak & Sakten Trek

Mani Wall in Bhutan(Sorry for being a bit schizophrenic with my posts. Too much going on!)

We’re going back to the final day of the Eastern Bhutan trek. I know you’ve been dying to hear how it turned out!

After a fantastically sunny hike on Day 5, our luck continued to hold out during Day 6. The hiking day was short and we were fortunate to have sunshine the whole time. The hike this day was just about 4 hours and it was more beautiful landscape, more suspension bridges and a wonderful welcome at the end.

Is it OK for me to admit that I could nearly pee in my pants right now just looking at this?

Now this is more like it. Looking back from a hillside, this is what the path looked like from above.

  1. You were incredibly brave to go across those bridges!

  2. It does look back in retrospect but it wasn’t too bad if you kept your eyes forward.

  3. This looks AMAZING. As someone afraid of heights, I’m truly impressed you had the courage to take the pictures…

  4. Beth…What happy memories this brought back of just such beautiful and scary bridges I crossed many times in Nepal and, recently, in Sikkim. Your pictures are sensational and I’ve enjoyed every inch of your Bhutan trip. Ah, to go there…
