Day 6;

This was our last day in Thimpu. We decided to explore the city on foot. We went to the lower part of the city and were lucky to witness an Archery competition going on in full swing. There were about 15 contestants and the competition was very close. While the men were fighting it out, women were dancing and singing near the arena. The men also sang and danced in between the competition.

I was told that archery was a costly sport and the bow could cost up to to $1000!!!
