His Majesty Visits



His Majesty visited Darla Gewog on 17/10/2015. It was a history to have an audience with His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck at Rinchentse Helipad, Darla. No king had visited before in Darla. His Majesty’s plan was to visit our school, but due to some busy schedule, the Majesty and His entourages arrived very late in the evening. Our school and staff were asked to go down to Rinchentse. So, we walked in line for almost three kilometers to be picked by buses on the way. The school was very unlucky and unfortunate to have missed the Royal visit. We had splendorous and pompous preparation for His Majesty's visit to our school for almost a week. But anyways, we were extremely lucky to have the audience at Rinchentse with the public of Darla and neighboring villages. Thousands of people assembled on the ground. Many people were said to have come early in the morning from 5am. The audience was graced with His Majesty's presence at 5pm. The Majesty gave a royal speech on how happy he was to be with the people. He also talked about being a good citizen and taking care of children – sons and daughters. The Majesty also served Tokha to the people. People also received His Majesty's booklet with a Coronation coin in it. There were also some dances from the public of Darla and students of Darla MSS. Bhutanese comedians, Gyem Tshering and Gyam Dorji broke out many witty jokes; and there were lots of mirth and joys. When people came out, people were all smiles to have received a beautiful portrait of His Majesty the King and The Queen.
