Famous for its unique culture and stunning landscapes, **Bhutan**, the legendary **Kingdom of the Himalayas**, is a country unlike any other. Often called **the last Shangri-La**, this is a place where time runs slower, and the government operates by the unique philosophy of **Gross National Happiness**. Many factors contribute to the famed **happiness and contentment** of Bhutan’s population, from the country’s pride in **preserving its traditions**, languages, and customs to the **prioritization of wellbeing** over material wealth. In this land of dense forests and towering mountains, incredible vistas are all around, and a **connection to nature** is deeply ingrained in the culture. In addition, the practice of **Mahayana Buddhism** profoundly influences the Bhutanese way of life, emphasizing inner peace, compassion, and community harmony. With **stupas and monasteries** on every corner, spirituality is embedded in daily life here. Centuries of religious devotion have led to the creation of incredible landmarks and sacred spaces, including the country’s iconic crown jewel: Taktsang monastery, or **the** **Tiger’s Nest**. One of the most venerated places of pilgrimage in the Himalayas, the monastery appears like something out of a fairy tale, clinging to the rock a towering 800m (2,600ft) above the valley floor. Nowhere in the Himalayas is the natural environment richer and more diverse than it is in Bhutan, home to high, rugged mountains and deep valleys which have been recognized as one of the world’s ten most important **biodiversity hotspots**. One of Bhutan’s ancient names was Menjong Yul, meaning **‘the land of medicinal herbs’**, and the people’s respect for the natural environment means that even today it remains pristine and mostly undisturbed. Here we’ll discover ancient spiritual practices, trek into untouched landscapes and feel the awe of nature’s majesty in this hidden corner of the world. [https://vimeo.com/238777975](https://vimeo.com/238777975) **Let’s go!** **DAY 1 :: MAY 26** Recommended departure to Kathmandu at 02:10-08:05. Connecting flight to Bhutan at 13:00. On sunny days, the inbound flight to Bhutan is marked by **panoramic views of the Himalayas, including the towering Everest**. The approach through the tiny airstrip of Paro has been termed as “adventurous”, to say the least! Arrival in the afternoon, after which we’ll check in to the hotel in Thimpu and have our first experience with fiery **Bhutanese cuisine**. Later we’ll visit Thimphu’s Memorial Stupa, also known as the **Thimphu Chorten**, a prominent religious landmark in the city with its golden spires and bells. Afterwards we’ll take a short 3-4km hike to Kuensel Phodrang, reaching the **gigantic Buddha Dordenma** at the top of the hill. The **50-meter-high, gilt gold** **statue** fulfils an ancient prophecy dating back to the 8th century A.D. and is said to emanate an aura of peace and happiness to the entire world. Overnight in Thimpu. **DAY 2 :: MAY 27** Today we drive via Dochu-La Pass to Punakha and hike to iconic **Chimi Lhakhang (Temple of Fertility),** located on a round hillock on the edge of Punakha Valley. After lunch our exploration continues with a visit to the majestic **Punakha Dzong fortress**, a stunning example of traditional Bhutanese architecture which serves as a winter residence for the Dratshang Lhentshog, the commission for the monastic affairs of Bhutan. Built in 1637, it is picturesquely located in between two rivers – the **Pho Chhu (Male River) & Mo Chhu (Female River)** – and houses sacred Buddhist relics. We’ll then take a walk along the **Punakha suspension bridge**, Bhutan’s longest, stretching 180 m (590 ft) across the water of the Pho Chhu, before checking into the hotel and resting up for the evening. **DAY 3 :: MAY 28** Today after breakfast and formalities we’ll drive to the **Dochula Pass (3,100m)** and begin the hike to the 18th century **Lungchutse Lhakhang temple (3,565m)**. This uber picturesque route passes through primary forests of rhododendrons, magnolias, birches, and bamboos, and occasionally meadows being used as yak pastures. When we reach the temple we’ll be richly rewarded by views over the **entire span of Bhutan’s Himalayan range** and its majestic, snow covered peaks. We will then make our way downhill for about an hour until we reach Dochula Pass, encountering several landmarks and stupas along the path. In the afternoon we will have an opportunity to witness **rural life in Bhutanese village,** and those who would like to can experience a **traditional** **hot stone bath**. For even richer immersion, there is also the option to spend the night in the village. **DAY 4 :: MAY 29** After breakfast we’ll start our last hike, to the sacred **Taktsang Monastery**, known as **the Tiger’s Nest,** situated at an altitude of 3100m in the Upper Paro Valley. During the hike we’ll keep our strength up with a picnic lunch in the woods with spectacular views. Our ancient destination is the abode of gods and monks, a place of great spiritualty since the 8th century. As per the legend of Taktsang, this was the site of a cave in the sheer cliff face used by mystic Guru Rinpoche for meditation. He assumed a wrathful form, Guru Dorji Drolo, riding a flying tigress to subdue the evil spirits in the area. After many centuries, a religious complex took shape here, clinging to the rock face, with the oldest temple built by a Nyingma Buddhist master around 1508. **DAY 5 :: MAY 30** Departure to Kathmandu at 11:40-12:40. Bye bye Bhutan! Short, optional city tour in Kathmandu before recommended return flight at 19:55. Back home at 22:55. **Level of difficulty:** Easy - short but steep trails.

There are cities that grow slowly, block by block, and then there is Chongqing, a place that seems to have been **designed by a dragon with a passion for bridges, neon lights, and vertical chaos**. Built where the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers meet, Chongqing rises in layers of towers, staircases, hidden lanes, and roads that appear to ignore conventional geometry. Here, trains pass through apartment buildings, streets sit above other streets, and maps become more of a suggestion than a rule. Yet beneath the modern frenzy lies an old mountain city of teahouses, river traders, and fiercely proud cuisine. **It is less a destination and more an event.** From this urban theatre, the road leads south to Wulong Karst National Geology Park, where nature appears to have worked on a grand scale with no interest in moderation. **Limestone bridges as tall as skyscrapers arc across deep valleys, caves open like cathedral doors,** and cliffs plunge into green shadows far below. Waterfalls slip from the rock face, mist curls through the ravines, and every turn looks suspiciously like a film set, because some of it actually was. This is the kind of landscape that leaves hikers speechless and photographers convinced they need just one more shot. **If Chongqing is human imagination unleashed, Wulong is the earth’s imagination revealed.** Further east, the Yangtze narrows and the land tightens into the legendary Three Gorges. Near Fengjie stands **Baidi City, perched above the river will make you think a visionary had perfect location in mind.** Temples, pavilions, and ancient stone paths overlook waters that have carried merchants, poets, generals, and no doubt a few people who took the wrong boat. This is a landscape where history does not sit in museums, it hangs in the mist and echoes in the cliffs. Then comes Wushan, gateway to one of the most dramatic corners of the gorges. Mountains rise sharply from the riverbanks, clouds gather theatrically, and ridgelines stretch into the distance like the spine of some sleeping giant. Here the famous **Dragon Spine hike** traces narrow heights above the Yangtze, rewarding brave legs with grand views and mildly offended calves. It is the sort of trail that reminds you how small you are. One moment you are catching your breath, the next you are wondering why your camera cannot capture scale, wind, or goosebumps. And just when you think the journey has reached peak spectacle, Chongqing welcomes you back with hot springs, massage tables, glowing skylines, and enough evening lights to convince the stars to retire early. This region’s genius lies in its contrasts: city and wilderness, ancient legend and futuristic energy, strenuous adventure and glorious laziness. It is a journey for curious travellers, first-timers, seasoned explorers, and anyone who believes travel should inspire a little awe. **Come with comfortable shoes, an open mind, and a respect for chilli peppers!** **Let’s go!** **Day 1 :: Arrival in Chongqing** Welcome to Chongqing, the rare city where gravity appears optional and urban planning was clearly feeling adventurous. Begin at Liziba Monorail Station, where a train passes directly through a residential building with complete confidence. Continue to Jiefangbei CBD, the energetic commercial heart of the city, before sampling the fragrant chaos of Bayi Road Food Street. Later, stroll along Daijiaxiang Walkway for skyline views that seem designed for cinema. End the evening at Hongya Cave, glowing above the river like an ancient palace that discovered electricity. **Day 2 :: Chongqing – Wulong** Travel into the countryside where the city’s neon drama gives way to geological theatre. At Wulong Karst National Geology Park, vast limestone landscapes rise with the confidence of monuments built by time itself. Explore the celebrated Three Natural Bridges, colossal arches spanning deep valleys with almost unnecessary grandeur. Continue into Longshuixia Fissure Gorge, where waterfalls, cliffs, and narrow passages create a scene somewhere between fantasy novel and tectonic masterpiece. By evening, Wulong feels wonderfully remote and refreshingly quiet. **Day 3 :: Wulong – Fengjie – Wushan** Journey eastward toward the famed Three Gorges, where the Yangtze begins to gather dramatic intentions. Stop at Baidi City, an ancient hilltop site layered with poetry, legend, and enviable river views. This was a place where emperors, scholars, and strategists once looked over the same waters now flowing quietly below. Continue through landscapes of steep cliffs and winding valleys toward Wushan. Arriving here feels like entering the prologue to an epic mountain story. **Day 4 :: Three Gorges Dragon Spine Hike** Today belongs to altitude, perspective, and pleasantly challenged leg muscles. The Dragon Spine trail above Wushan follows dramatic ridgelines overlooking the Yangtze and the surrounding mountains. Each turn reveals deeper gorges, sharper peaks, and views that make ordinary postcards seem underqualified. The path is adventurous without losing its dignity, thrilling without becoming theatrical. Return to Chongquing with tired feet, clear lungs, and a suspicious number of photographs. But its not yet time for bed, as evening falls, the city skyline resumes its role as one of Asia’s great visual spectacles. Its time for a Chongquing synchronized drone light show that turns the sky itself into entertainment. **Day 5 :: Wushan – Chongqing** Civilization greets you with comfort and excellent timing. Reward recent heroics at Golden Impression SPA, a refined sanctuary of massage, wellness, and strategic recovery before we reach the skies again, this time for return flight home. **Level:** Moderate – includes 6 hrs hike, 650m elevation gain. **Activities:** trekking, sightseeing, cultural immersion. **Accommodation & meals:** 4 star hotel - double sharing, meals excluded. **Cost: 8,980 AED incl. flights on Emirates and Air China until MAY 10th.** Past this date cost will change. **Specifically excluded:** Visas, meals, insurance. **Visa: AUS, EU, UK passports visa free,** except Czech Republic, Lithuania and Sweden.

Among the most amazing natural wonders of the world, the mountains of the national forest park of Zhangjiajie rank so high that they even **inspired famous film director James Cameron**. In fact, one of them has even been renamed after one of Cameron's blockbusters: It is now called **Avatar Hallelujah Mountain**. Here, in south central China, we won't need much fantasy, we will find ourselves in a different world all the way through. So welcome to the real Avatar! The Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is a **UNESCO World Heritage Site** located in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area. Prominent in the park are the pillar-like formations, often depicted in ancient Chinese paintings, resembling karst terrain but not formed by limestone dissolution. Instead, they've been shaped over time by physical erosion, notably from expanding ice in winter and plant growth. It might come as a surprise to us UAE residents, but the park is also home to the **world's longest and highest pedestrian glass bridge** as well as the "hundred dragons sky lift" (Bailong Elevator), the world's tallest outdoor lift. In Avatar's footsteps, we will have the chance to reconnect with nature's primal energy while hiking in the most awe-inspiring scenery of the Grand Canyon, The Golden Whip Stream and the Ten Mile Gallery. Towering peaks, deep valleys, and mist-shrouded cliffs, will offer a **glimpse into the ethereal beauty** that has inspired countless artists and poets throughout history. But what would a trip to fantasy land be without exploring mysterious caves? With a massive size of 48 ha, the Huanglong Cave stretches over some 15 km; the highest of its three waterfalls reaching 50 m. We are not surprised that this place is called "Yellow Dragon's Cave" in Chinese! If otherworldly impressions are your pair of shoes, here is one for the **Avatar mountains floating in the clouds.** **Let’s go!** **Day 0** Meeting at airport at 22:00 for a flight to Beijing. **Day 1** Arrival to Beijing, immigration clearance. Given the transfer time allows, short visit in **Ti’an men square** **and Forbidden City**. Connecting flight to Zhangjiajie, transfer to hotel and overnight. **Day 2** Prepare for an exhilarating day exploring Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. We'll begin by ascending via **cableway to Huangshizhai**, where breathtaking views await. After taking in the panorama, we'll embark on a hike down, immersing ourselves in the natural beauty of the area. Later, we'll venture into the enchanting surroundings of **Golden Whip Stream**, where tranquil waters and towering sandstone pillars create a serene atmosphere perfect for exploration. **Day 3** Today we ascend the **Bailong Elevator to Yuangjiajie**, where we'll be greeted by stunning views of the towering pillar-like rock formations which provided inspiration for the otherworldly scenery in the movie Avatar. From here, we'll embark on a scenic **hike down from** **Tianzi Mountain**, where mist-shrouded cliffs and lush valleys awaits. There are dense woods, fragrant flowers and grotesque rocks in this valley, true natural art gallery. Later on, we'll explore the landscapes of the Ten-Mile Gallery with its 200 rocks vividly mimic profiles of human and animals. **Day 4** Lace up your hiking boots for an unforgettable trek through the majestic **Grand Canyon** of Zhangjiajie. We will cross longest and **highest glass-bottomed bridge** in the world, 430m long, 6m wide, suspended 300m above the valley floor. Built among high mountains and a gorge, it also has a bungee platform in the center. Further on, we head inside the depths of **Huanglong Cave**, where stunning rock formations and underground waterfalls awaits for a charming glimpse on the underworlds. **Day 5** Our trip could not be concluded without visiting two iconic landmarks. First, we'll take in the serene beauty of **Baofeng Lake**, nestled amidst lush forests and towering peaks. Then, we'll ascend the summit of **Tianmen Mountain via cable car**. It will not be easy to bid farewell to Zhangjiajie as we transfer to the airport for flight to Beijing, overnight in Beijing. **Day 6** Check out early in the morning and transfer to the **Great Wall of China**. Our trip to Beijing would, of course, not be complete without enjoying the **famous Peking Duck for lunch**. In the evening, transfer to the airport and fly back home. **Level:** Easy, available for everyone. **Activities:** trekking, sightseeing. **Accommodation & meals:** 4 star hotel - double sharing, meals excluded, except lunch DAY 6. **Cost: 5,250 AED excl. flights on Emirates and Air China.** **Cost valid until MAY 20th.** Past this date cost will change. **NOTE:** This trip is only available on our flight plan. **Specifically excluded:** Visas, meals, insurance. **Visa: AUS, EU passports visa free,** except Czech Republic, Lithuania and Sweden.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn together, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
