On 23 February 2026, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema, accompanied by their three children — Prince Jigme Namgyel, Prince Jigme Ugyen, and Princess Sonam Yangden — as well as other members of the Royal Family, joined volunteers at Gelephu Central Park, a 35.5-acre designated park near Gelephu, where 108 flowering trees were planted to ensure the park blossoms throughout the year.
On the third day of the 5th Zhabtog Programme for Gelephu Mindfulness City, 28 teams of volunteers worked across seven sites, continuing large-scale efforts in environmental restoration and site preparation. Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) is a Special Administrative Region in Bhutan, envisioned by His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
What a big girl already, watering the new tree all by herself. Such lovely family. Also, a happy 46th birthday to the King. So nice to see them again.

Luna, Bhutan can be very warm. Depends which area and which season but it can get up to near 40 degrees C.
DeleteInteresting, I've travel to Bhutan and there was no reference at all about warm temperatures. But good to know.

Gelephu is close to India. Very close, in fact. So, temperatures there are warmer than one might think. Currently at daytime about 20° C, that is approx. 68 ° F. In the sunshine, one can go with a summerdress, yes. In more remote, mountainous areas of Bhutan, wheather can be more harsh and less pleasant, of course.
DeleteCette petite princesse semble brillante et allumée, comme ses grands frères. Josée.
ReplyDeleteAllumée ?? Avez-vous employé le bon vocabulaire Josée ? :D
Delete小さな王女様が植えた木はやがて大きく枝葉を広げ、そこは人々の憩いの場所になるでしょう。
ReplyDelete小さな王女様、この木と共にどうぞゆっくりと、お幸せに成長してください。
A beautigul sentiment, dear commenter-san. Arigato.
Delete"The tree planted by the little princess will one day grow tall and spread its branches wide, becoming a place of rest for people.
DeleteLittle princess, may you grow slowly and happily alongside this tree."

ReplyDeleteAdorable poupée qui tient compagnie à sa maman afin de mettre la main à la pâte pour planter un arbre !
ReplyDeleteこの公園に108本の木が植えられたと知りました。
ReplyDelete仏教では、108は人の心の迷いや苦しみの数を表しているのです。
Sehr schöne Bilder. Die Kinder voll in Aktion :-)
