thimphu
the heart of the dragon kingdom
Thimphu, the pulsating heart of Bhutan, offers a fascinating blend of ancient tradition and evolving modernity. In this unique capital, life moves at a thoughtful pace, famously guided by the rhythmic gestures of its traffic police. Your journey begins at the Buddha Dordenma, a massive gilded statue overlooking the valley, before joining locals in meditative prayer at the National Memorial Chorten. Witness the architectural grandeur of Tashichho Dzong, the seat of government, and explore the National Institute for Zorig Chusum to see the thirteen traditional arts in motion. Thimphu is a culture to be felt – through the spicy kick of Ema Datshi and the vibrant energy of an archery match.
