Hiking Beside a Turquoise River in Bhutan
Hiking in #Jakar in #Bhutan, almost immediately the Chamkhar Chu begins rushing to our right, a light yet vibrant turquoise river splashing glacial waters over boulders and stretching south into India. Even when we enter the forest, a woodland canopy of blue pine and oak shading us from the sun, I still glimpse its waters. I can’t help but notice it smells like home, and despite being in one of the world’s most remote destinations I’m transported to the Catskills of New York.
