Attractions
- Discover Bhutan’s rich heritage through its majestic dzongs, resilient fortresses like Paro Dzong, and the intricate artistry of Buddhist stupas such as the Memorial Stupa in Thimphu. Explore traditional watchtowers at Drukgyel Dzong, delve into monasteries like Chimi Lhakhang, and experience village life amidst Bhutan’s serene landscapes.
- Trip highlights
Apart from the landscape, the first thing noticeable about Bhutan are its unique houses, fortresses and monasteries; all built with an architectural module that evolved in the 16th century. Today, whether in a village or about town, structures, built of wood and stone masonry without a blueprint as such, will grab eyeballs. From stunning palaces, fortresses and monasteries to urban buildings and village homes, architecture gives Bhutan a unique identity.
