The king of Bhutan has taken a hands-on approach to tackling the Covid-19 pandemic in his country.
Exchanging his royal robes for hiking gear, 41-year-old Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck set out on a tour of the country s east on June 7, hiking along the eastern border to inspect Covid-19 containment measures after several recent outbreaks of the virus in the area.
Much of Bhutan s eastern border is shared with the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
He can be seen wearing a baseball cap and carrying a backpack as he navigates the hilly terrain along the border, in photos of his trek that were posted on his official Instagram account.
