Let’s say good bye for Closing day of the year of the OX. The most beautiful and happening time of the year is moving into new dimension. Traditionally, it’s the time of year for planning and celebrating for bringing friends and family together to enjoy the Losar. It is safe to assume that 2022’s celebrations will be a bit different again amid of pandemic. Please pray all of you today for a collective new beginning. Let us make resolution individually to have a year of awareness and kindness.

It’s good to keep in mind that while preparing a celebration can be a happy and exciting time for many, some people can feel under a lot of pressure to create the perfect experience for their loved ones. This can cause increased stress, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy which may be heightened this year with the additional barriers in place. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the extra demands of the season, try to balance your sense of obligation against your need for self-care.

Overcoming the pandemic is very much our responsibility. So while we enjoy the festive season with the love and warmth of our loved ones, we have to be conscious of all the safety precautions so that the pandemic slowly but surely lessens, making life much better for all of us.
So this festive season, stay safe, stay healthy and pray for the good old days to return to our lives.

However, we shouldn’t forget that Covid numbers in the country and resultant fatalities are still very much a cause of concern. So, let’s celebrate and enjoy festivals while ensuring that family and friends stay safe and healthy.

***********************************************

In these difficult times with Covid-19 and watching with shock, concern and grief the situation unfolding in Ukraine.

We lift our prayers for the citizens of Ukraine. We pray for an end to aggression and for peace. Let’s carry a message of peace, raise a prayer for peace in Ukraine, no more war, let us pray for Government, people’s and the children, for the Ukrainian.

We cherish and celebrate Shinning bright handsome Birthday of His Royal Highness Gyalsey, Zhung Dratshang says it is a very auspicious sign that Punakha received its first snowfall after 64 years,

It is First-ever snowfall in lowlands of Punakha and Wangdue. Bajo town and Khuruthang town are some of the lowlands in western districts witnessing their first-ever snowfall. Many believe that this is the first time that the white flakes descended over these towns. Many parts of Bhutan also had surprised to witnessed first snowfall in the history of Bhutan. Snow might not feel that special. But, sometimes, for some people, you live in a place that doesn’t often get snow, so when it does arrive, we might want to consider any omens it brings with it. But, to reiterate, snow is a generally good omen. it symbolizes positive things like peace, purity, divinity, cleanliness, rebirth, and patient progress towards noble goals.It is a sure sign of a great year ahead on this special Day of our His Royal Highness Gyalsey.

***********************************************

We join the nation in celebrating 6th Birthday of His Royal Highness Gyelsey Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck and we humbly offering our prayers and wishes for His Gyelsey's wellbeing and everlasting peace and prosperity.

It is time to celebrate this auspicious Traditional Day of Offering which was commonly acknowledged as Chunipa Losar (ལོ་གསར་) or New Year’s Day on 2nd February 2022.

This year has been unlike any other in recent memory, Marking special occasions during the pandemic. For many of us, this time of year is a time for finding joy in the planning and celebrating of various festivals and celebrations that bring families and friends together over the winter months. With varying levels of lockdown restrictions from 16th January 2022 till 30th January and further extended until until the festivities of chunyipai losar is over till 6th February. It is safe to assume that this year’s celebrations will be very different to those in years gone by.

As we move into a new year, I want to wish you all moments of peace and strength amid the difficulties that we have all faced in 2021 While the road has certainly been difficult at times, I hope the lessons we have learned and the challenges we have faced have made us all stronger.

***********************************************

I personally would like to wish a Happy Losar to everyone. We join the Nation with deepest gratefulness to offer our humblest gratitude to the great Monarchs for bestowing us with peaceful and happiest country on the earth.

The year 2021 has been an unpredictable ride through the pandemic, and many more difficulties that had made living life quite hard for people across the globe.It has been quite a difficult one for most of us, the coronavirus pandemic did not only wreck our health and sanity, but also left quite a lasting impact on most of our lives. One that will continue to affect our lives even when this whole nightmare is over. Yet, humanity is not be taken lightly either. We will continue to hold on to hope and persevere for a brighter and better tomorrow. The upcoming year has a lot of people’s hope riding on it, and the start of a new decade has never seemed more promising. Now is the time to start.

Finally, as we near the end of this year, OX of a year is coming to an end and the anticipation for better times is contagious. There are important lessons to be learned from the past pandemic-dominated year and in 2021 all should accept the fact that with every passing year, one should leave behind the bad memories. People all over the world are already establishing their New Year resolutions and plans. This upcoming year will give us the opportunity to start afresh and work towards rebuilding the world after the pandemic and even bettering ourselves in order to avoid such global suffering again.

On a lighter note, the New Year celebration is a time for joy, great pomp and show across the world. Even though this New Year’s Eve will be a quiet affair, with people celebraition from the comforts of their own home and all the while following all safety protocols that are in affect due to the new strain of the coronavirus

Now that we are entering 2022, its best to let 2021 become a distant memory and celebrate the upcoming year with a lot of joy and happiness. With social distancing and norms in place, ringing in the New Year will not be the same as it used to be.

So, for people who are miles apart, I wish you “Happy New Year”. I hope this year turns out to be the best year of your life and your family too. Happy New Year!

One more year loaded with sweet recollections and cheerful times has passed. You have made my year exceptionally uncommon, and I wish this continues forever. With you around, each minute is a unique event for me. I wish that you have a year as incredible as you are.

So now, as we embrace the upcoming year, 2021, let us all be positive and cheery with shining spirits and aspirations for the future. We should vow to not let the negative times affect us in looking forward to the future and working hard to achieve our dreams and ambitions. So, let us all embrace the new year with much-needed hopes and happiness.

However, amidst the worsening of the pandemic situation elsewhere, we Bhutanese are truly blessed to be cared for with unconditional love and compassion from His Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Gyaltsuen, His Majesty Drukgyel Zhipa and their Majesty the Gyalyums. We Bhutanese are blessed under the loving care of our Bodhisattva King’. Thank your Majesty for Golden words of speech on 114 National Day. May Bhutan continue to be blessed by His Majesty’s Sublime qualities of:

The strength of protect.
The compassion to love
The wisdom to know

I would like to thank His Holiness the Je Khenpo and the Zhung Dratshang for the endless prayers to ensure the good health and wellbeing of our people, the Hon’ble Prime Minister and taskforce members across the nation for their tireless services and guidance, and finally our frontliners for their selfless service to the Tsa-Wa-Sum.

Thank You!

2021 is drawing to a close at last. It is just a completely different kind of year. We are probably more than ready to say goodbye to 2021. It has been a tumultuous year to say the least, and there’s no doubt many of us are counting down the days until it’s finally over. Ringing in 2022 may not look like years past.

However, We all know that 2021 was a year full of unexpected challenges, hardships, and stress because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid the uncertainty and the obstacles that this year has brought, We are Surviving the Pandemic.

It’s been a challenging time for small businesses like us. I have no choice but to open a cafe & restaurant in the midst of COVID-19. Still, it had been 10 months now. We are under the weight of losses and decided to accept the pandemic-induced reality instead of being brave for the heck of it,”

Since It has been a rough year for all of us, but for small-business owners it has been a bloodbath. “As the entire sector struggled, I rallied my team and the people around me. They became my biggest support. Very slowly, things started to come together. When the opportunity came to open cafe and restaurant in 2021. we decided to do it. As I see it, the market is ripe with opportunities at present and we need to take a leap.

We hope that you manage to have well-deserved rest over a week and that your time off is as special as circumstances allow. We’re looking forward to meeting with you all again in Bhutan but for now all that’s left to say is “We are pleased to extend our sincere thanks for everyone for their love, support, loyalty, and friendship this past year too" We are also looking forward to the opportunity of showing our appreciation in person. Happy Holidays". Stay blessed and stay safe.

📍 We started hiking up on fine weekend on Saturday for second time from Dechenphu lhakhang 📍

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

but still, the hike is great which climb can take 10 hours and I would recommend going up early this trail. Once you reach the top, (Jomkarim Passes 4200 M), you'll be rewarded with Breathtaking views of the Yangtse Lake when you get to the TOP including a great view of snow capped mountains and return in the same day – although challenging, you will certainly feel on top of the world.

The hike itself was amazing and the sense of accomplishment from finishing it was truly fantastic. I will say though that it requires a good amount of planning to successfully summit to the top.

‼️ Dechenphu Lhakhang-Jomkarim Passes (above 4000 M)-Yangtshe Lake ‼️

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
We have to turn back before the pass as it started to rain sleet and thunder storm when we reached 3770 M which we hiked for 5 hours and 3 hours way down but it will take around 10-11 hours approximately

It was a great time to escape into nature--we are escaping to nature to seek isolated and unpopulated spaces. it is an opportunity to better appreciate the nature. This was the best time to hikers to “hike in place”.

"I've been staying at home for too long. It was glorious just to not be in our house for a week but I decided to do nature trails hike this weekend. Going out hiking is to breathe some fresh air, make myself comfortable, enjoy the breeze and the view,".

However you choose to keep you and your family safe through this crisis, I wish you all the best, and hope you all can find some peace and solitude somewhere in the Valley, even if it’s just in your backyard for now.

His Majesty the King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Gyaltsuen Jetsun Pema married on 13 October 2011, at Punakha Dzong. The ceremony was held in Punakha, followed by a public celebration in Thimphu and Paro. During the ceremony, the King bestowed the Crown of the Druk Gyaltsuen on her, formally proclaiming her the Queen of the Kingdom of Bhutan.

The wedding was held in traditional style with the "blessings of the guardian deities." Although Bhutan allows polygamy, the king said that he would never marry another woman. For their wedding, the Netherlands sent the royal couple tulips and named one "Queen of Bhutan" after her.

On 5th of February 2016, she gave birth at the Lingkana Palace. The king was present for the birth of The Gyalsey. His name, Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck, was announced on 16 April 2016.

On 19 March 2020, she had given birth to her second son in Lingkana Palace in Thimphu. On 30 June 2020, the Royal Family announced that the second Gyalsey had been named Jigme Ugyen Wangchuck, and would be known as His Royal Highness Gyalsey Ugyen Wangchuck.

The nomadic community before migrating to Merak and Sakteng were living at Yamarong village in Tibet.

A King Dreba-yabu, who was known for his evil deeds, ruled their village. King Dreba-yabu’s palace never received direct sunlight, as the high peak on the eastern side of the palace blocked the light. One day, the king ordered his subjects to blunt the peak.

A female protective deity of the village, Aum Jumo, heard about the harsh punishment put on the people. She transformed into a woman with a baby on her back and visited the site where people were trying to cut the peak.

As if she was speaking to the child on her back, she said, “Beheading the king would be easier than cutting the mountain…”
The villagers heard her and soon planned a feast for the King, got him drunk and assassinated him. However, the guilt of assassinating the king did not let the villagers live peacefully. They pleaded their tsawai lam (root guru) Jarepa to resettle them in a faraway place.

That was in 1347. Lam Jarepa sought Aum Jumo’s spiritual guidance and he led the villagers to move to Shawoog village, present day Arunachal Pradesh in India. They brought with them the 32-volumes of Buddhist text and cattle.

The group however lost their way and came across a waterfall in a place called Gyarong Drag. Lam Japera with his supernatural power sent the people and their belongings with the flow of the waterfall. It is believed that the Buddhist texts are today seen in the form of rock near the waterfall.

After crossing mountains and rivers towards the west, the villagers settled at Somathang village in Tawang for three months. But, there is no record or history of how many people travelled with the lam.

They however, could not settle in Somathang village because of famine and snakebites. Lam Jarepa consulted Aum Jomo, who waved a white fabric towards the east.

During the journey, lam Jarepa is said to have cleared a way by piercing through a treacherous rock. This rock can still be found at Arunachal Pradesh and Sakteng border.

On reaching Tsholung (evil lake that disappeared humans into clouds), lam Jarepa divided the lake into three. Each belonged to the three ethnic groups of brokpas (Kom, Lon and Rok). The three lakes still exist in northern Sakteng, where nomads today use the surrounding as grazing land (Tsamdro).

Brokpas first settled in Sakteng (Sak-bamboo, ten-ground). This is where the orally passed story of yeti comes from. It’s believed that Lam Jarepa with his supernatural power had kept the yeti away from humans, which initially had troubled the nomadic community.

Slowly, people started settling towards Merak (burnt area). They travelled to Phongmey to barter butter and cheese with grains, a tradition, which is still practiced today.

Merak and Sakten valleys in Bhutan were closed to foreigners until 2010, to protect the unique cultural heritage of the Brokpa people and in part to give the mythical Yeti some peace, whose tales of wandering in the valley is very popular among the locals. Until then, only a handful of researchers and tourists have been granted permission to enter this area, and even today, only few trekking groups make it to this remote region in Eastern Bhutan.
