Really cool photo! I love the rays of sun peaking through the clouds! Were they done in post?

Thank you. The rays of the sun are real. I did a bit editing with Lightroom to underline them (e.g. increase of contrast).

Wonderful country. It's worth a visit.

I wonder if this picture would look slightly more attractive if you edited the level's of brightness.
I like this picture, how was that bus ride? For some reason I imagine it containing lots of ups and downs in the road.

What do you mean with level's of brightness? I do a little editing with Lightroom, but I'm relative new to this software/postediting itself. But I want to improve 
The bus ride was great. It was 180 km from Samdrup Jongkhar to Trashigang and it took 10(!) hours . Around 20-30 % of the street are in very good condition. But the rest is kind of rock/dirt road with lots of construction sites. There is not much traffic at all, but you have to wait for oncoming traffic. The landscape was so beautiful. I tried often o make some shots out of the bus but most of them are blurred. I only have a handful of "good" ones and maybe 2 or 3 which I will show here.

Thats me on a normal shoot with good roads to drive on, loads of photos taken and only 2 - 3 that are OK.
I don't use lightroom since I simply didn't want to pay for it but I use Photoshop instead, in the photo currently are more neutral/middle tones than highlights and shadows & personally I love some nice highlights & shadows. If this option is available and Im sure it has it, there is either 'Curves' or 'Levels'; those are where you can tweak the brightness settings without messing about with the color or resolution quality.
I think this would definitely benefit from a tiny tweak; looking at those mountains again brought me happiness; I'm jealous of your trip but not the 10 hours!
How could you manage to sit such a bumpy road without feeling pain in your back and butt!?

The bus was new and with good springs .
Currently I'm a bit busy but when I have more time I can look into the highlights and shadows again.
