12 miles to Kheybeythang

In a magical cauldron, in the heavens,

wizards conjured up miracle for days

adding in mysterious mix of potions,

whipped up this place.

A place with myriad wild flowers,

colloidal clouds drifting on tree tops,

where sparkling brooks meander

along verdant forest crops.

This is a place of immense serenity

interrupted only by faint chimes of cattle bell,

an ecstatic heaven born out of

invisible forces working its enchanting spell.

Rustling leaves play melodious tunes

as dancing breeze on them caress,

a perfect therapy for mortals

beset with societal distress.

Cross breathtaking Phobjikha vales,

away from hamlets far-flung,

greet lasses shying away with timid smile,

We welcome you, to Kheybeythang!
