Soccer is common in Bhutan every where. Bhutan is in the list of FIFA Nr 197.

We nearly reach the pass called ThumsingLa (3800 m). This is the highest point can reached by bus or car.

Being alert of stone and rock falls all the time

This pass called ThumsingLa (3800m) is the border line between the Bhutanese districts Bumthang and Mongar. (Photo captured with the self-timer)

The line you see from the highway is interrupted by landslides and rockfall all the way to Mongar. The drive was risky and the driver had to go very attentive.

Soccer is a kind of sport, Bhutanese people enjoy since a long time. Bhutan has a soccer community. Once I saw that Bhutan invited the soccer team from Montserrat for a soccer game. It was the most funny game I have ever seen and I think every body liked to see it very much. Its wasn't important who is winning, it was insured that everybody has his fun, everybody from Bhutan and everybody from Montserrat - and this is most important! The rest of the world is still very far away to get this in its mind.

A small clean little town very aside the common tour places. Mongar is the fastest developing dzongkhag (district) in eastern Bhutan. A regional hospital is under construction and the region is bustling with many economic activities. Mongar is noted with its lemon grass,a plant that can be used to produce an essential oil.It also has a hydropower plant on the Kuri Chhu river.
