Part 12 - Paro to Ranchi

Written By Admin Sunday, September 4, 2022 Add Comment Edit

After a brief tryst with Paro, we moved on to Thimbu. We stayed at Thimbu Riverview Hotel.

As the name suggests, it is beautifully kept and visited

Visiting restaurants, but after Paro, Tiempo was no home to write home about.

Soon we left Bhutan to head for the Orissa coast of India, passing through Puntosholing, Purnia, Faraka, Bankura and Bhubaneswar to Puri. The trip was a very bad combination.

(high volumes of truck traffic) from bad roads to very good roads. It was the only mode of transportation where the mobility of everyone on the road was tested. This trip took five days.

On the way from Bhubaneshwar to Puri, we visited the famous Sun Temple of Konarak. I think this was the high point of this trip for me. It was a special pooja at Puri as we could not get Darshan to eat. But there was a temple atmosphere everywhere in the city.

While we were in Puri, we received information about Cyclone Hoodhood approaching the east coast. As a result we had to make a course correction and instead of crossing the east coast of Kanyakumari we entered the center of Ranchi. Why Rashi? Well, since Diwali was fast approaching and what better way to celebrate than celebrating with close friends. Aditya's classmate

Sanjeev Lal (Jeep and antique restorer) and his friend were more than happy to welcome us to their beautiful Ranchi home as we celebrated Diwali with gusto!
