Thrumshing La
Thrumshing La (3780m) is Bhutan's second highest mountain pass.
Connecting Mongar in the east to central Bumthang district, the lateral road climbs more than 3000m and has to navigate the most notorious stretch of road in the country at Namling Brak (Namling cliffs).
There the narrow road clings to the cliffside with a 300m sheer drop and no roadside protection to speak of except a few prayer flags above the waterfall. Every Bhutanese remembers the full bus that crashed down the cliff years ago...
No wonder Thrumshing La is covered in masses of prayer flags as everyone wants to say thank you for getting through safely. The incense burner is also well used.

Gudrun club has replied to Wierd Folkersma clubThere seems to be lot of literature / philosophy on each of those coloured flags

Gudrun club has replied to Fred Fouarge clubGudrun club has replied to Schussentäler clubJa, die Passstrasse! Grad so schlimm war es in Nepal auf dem Weg nach Pokhara nicht, aber es gab schon so ein paar Schreckmomente, vor allem beim Kreuzen. ;-)
Gudrun club has replied to polytropos clubZum Glück war noch kein Gegenverkehr beim Aufwärtsfahren, das wäre bei der schmalen Straße schwierig geworden;-) Die Entfernungen sind so, dass bei frühem Start noch keiner entgegenkommt.
Klasse finde ich diese Bunte Tradition mit den Gebeten auf der Leine. Viele Grüße MAIK
