Varela's travel journal

Next, I got the opportunity to visit Paro, in Bhutan, and I found out that the place has a lot of interesting history, just hear this out:
For much of the 19th century Bhutan was plagued by a series of civil wars as the governors of the various territories contended for power and influence.

Throughout most of Bhutanese history a continuous series of skirmishes and intrigues took place throughout the land as superseded jungpens and penlops awaited an opportunity to return to power.

I also had the chance to visit the Ugyen Pema Woedling Zangthopelri, also called the hidden Gem of Paro, a monastery that is very important for the culture, despite usually being ingored by tourist
