Day 2 – Episode 5 – Bhutan Nightlife – Discs and Bars, Drinks, Movie – Camping Traveller India - Amice
Zumtrul is a bar, which is a karaoke bar actually. So there you sing any song of your choice on karaoke and enjoy drinks.
Nu/INR is 150 for Beer and Nu/INR 100 for 60 ml wine peg with Free snacks. It’s a good deal. I had a beer and Lubzang has a wine glass.
Soon, Aaksha called back and he also joined us there. He said he was a bar nearby and missed the calls due to the music. Some live band was performing. Now, we three were there and enjoying our drinks and we tried that karaoke on bollywood song – Mere Sapno ki Rani Kab Aaiygi Tu”.
It was fun. Lubzang and Aakash became good friend. We moved hom around 12:30 after leaving Aakash to the hotel.
One very catchy song grabbed my attention, out of 4, 2 to 3 was singing this song only.
Tile is Pubosha … Pubosha…. Pubosha…. . Really not aware of album or film name, but the beats are amazing. Try listening it on YouTube.
I am still surprised, only Karaoke version is available.
Next Morning, after breakfast, I went to the immigration office and applied for the route permit.
That lady said, it would take 2 hours, so come after 2 hours. So Lubzang and me went to the market and started doing sight seeing and this was my 1st visit to Thimphu.
Documents required for Route Permit are as below:
1. Fill Route Permit Form
2. Give Photocopy of Permit which you taken from Phuentsholing
3. A Written Declaration for Solo Traveller - same way as we given at the time of applying for Permit
Same documents need to be submitted for Permit extension as well. Simply replace Route permit form with Immigration Permit Form.
So, now I suppose to get my route permit by 12:00 Noon. We decided to go meet Deki and Nubru.
Their shops were just in front of immigration office. So we went there and met them.
Taxi: While Going we paid Taxi fare of 30 Nu/INR each and while coming back as it was a special taxi we paid Nu/INR 150 total.
So here if you see a Taxi, you can stop and get in. If there are more passengers inside, it’s a shared taxi and you will pay only Nu/INR 30 per person. And in case if you stop a taxi, and no passenger in inside, you may be asked to hire it specially.
Disc and Bar Timings: Disc and Bar timings are based on days. Saturday and Sundays, timing is till 1:00 AM, Friday its till 12 Midnight and rest of the days bars and discs are opened till 11:00 PM. Bhutan police keep the track and control on opening and closing timings.
Day & Night Shop: I found a shop in the market, near Legar Theater, its very closed to Clock Tower, which keep opened throughout night. If anyone is interested identify the name of the shop from the video and approach in odd timing.
Drinks are available on all the shops: Almost all the shops and restaurants are selling drinks of all kind. Simply go and pay and buy. Beer is costing only Nu/INR 60 rupees. Those who health conscious and doesn’t drink, can take 1 liter bottle of “Lassi” or “Chaach” or “Butter Milk” what ever you call it in the same price of Nu/INR 60.
Pool Game Rates: unlink here in India, what I discover with the discussion held with Lubzang, They pay Nu/INR 100 on per game basis. Not on per hour basis. This is not a authentic piece of information, yet I have, so sharing. I went to a pool bar but didn’t ask, as I am not a person who is very keen and good in playing pools.
Name of Bars in Thimphu:
1. Viva City : Viva city is a restaurant famouse for its crowed and DJ music. Its accommodate a good colume of visitors.
