Trip to Kabji Hoka Tsho

 Kabji Hoka Tsho This pristine lake is hidden away in the middle of dense jungle vegetation. It is located at an altitude of about 2000M. The trail towards the Tsho starts from Chorten Nyingbo which is a winter residence of Trulku Gyaltsey Tenzin Rabgye. Kabji Hoka Tsho is considered as one of the best and a must visit places in Punakha for an excursion. To visit Kabji Hoka Tsho, we need to hike along the concrete irrigation water channel. It almost takes 2 and ½ hours to reach at the Kabji Hoka Tsho from the Chorten Nyingbo. The lake is scenic and also gives a sense of peace and calm. I felt that the best season to visit Kabji Hoka Tsho is winter since during the summer, the paths are slippery whereas during the winter, the lake seems beautiful surrounded with green grass. The trip to Kabji Hoka Tsho was adventurous as well as a blessed one.

Poem

 Poem: I am not scared of death I am not scared of death, As it is the final destination for all, But what I am scared of is, I don't know when it will knock on my door. I don't know when will the death visit me, So I live each day with full acceptance, I widely embrace both happiness and sadness that comes my way, But I welcome euphoria than melancholy. I welcome euphoria than melancholy  Since I don't want to leave this world, With regrets and pains in my heart, I want to live my life with laughters and smiles. In this rollercoaster life, when I am given chance to live, I will feel every emotion within, I will dance with the rhythm of happiness, I will even cry during the times I am in deep pain. I have to face death one day but, I don't want to face death with pains and regrets, But I want to face death with peace mind, And heart filled with contentment. No, I don't fear death since it is I, you, we, and everyone's final destination. When given chance to liv
