Amogh in Bhutan
In May 2024 Amogh N P travelled through Bhutan with his family — landing at Paro, on to the capital, Thimphu, over the Dochula pass to Punakha, and back to Paro for the climb to the cliffside Tiger's Nest. An architect in a country where every building still speaks one language of timber, whitewash and painted eaves. These are the days, as the family keeps them.
