Thrilling flight to Bhutan

Its just a one hour exhilarating flight from Kolkata to Paro. And the most interesting part of the journey was the landing.
A few minutes before landing, green carpeted hills appeared from nowhere as we gently descended from the clouds above. It was like one of the scenes from the movie Avataar, okay I am exaggerating a bit here, but it was pretty close to it.
And then just before landing, we were flying between the hills and the wings of the aircraft was so close to them that i could differentiate leaves of the densely packed trees on the hills.
The plane started shivering making all kinds of weird frightening noises due to high wind speeds. For information, only 8 pilots are skilled enough to land an aircraft at Paro Airport due to its location.
Finally the plane touched down at the airport, 7000 feet high nestled among stunning hills from all sides.
