Major Tourist Attractions
Paro valley
Paro valley is one of the most populated areas of the whole country. Because of its proximity to the airport, there are hotels and tourist facilities close to the airstrip. The valley of Paro contains a wealth of attractions and requires a few days to be properly explored. Casting a shadow across the town of Paro and controlling all secular and religious activities in its valley is the elegant and perfectly symmetrical Rinpung Dzong. Built in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the first spiritual and temporal ruler of Bhutan, the Dzong houses the Monastic body of Paro, the office of the Dzongda (district administrative head) and Thrimpon (judge) of Paro District. The major attractions around Paro valley are National Museum and Taksang Monastery. National museum are the collection that includes ancient Bhutanese arts and artifacts, weapons and stamps birds and animals and an incredible collection of silver tea ware.
Thimphu
The capital city of Thimphu lies in the broad fertile valley of the Wang Chu River at an altitude of 7,500 ft. Once was a rustic village. Thimphu is a home of traditional Bhutanese art, architecture, culture, and tradition and above all still so ethnic and pure and also equally adorned with naturally. For most part of its history, Bhutan has tried consciously to save its culture from the blunt influences of the western world. It is not that modernity has reached this region, but they are being introduced in a phased and balanced manner that is unheard of at any place in the world. All these make Thimphu and other parts of the country a unique destination. Come to the land of peaceful Dragon and enjoy the cultural vibrancy and natural splendour that Thimpu offers to Guests.
Punakha Dzong
Punakha Dzong is the administrative centre. It was the capital of Bhutan and the seat of Government until 1955, when the capital was moved to Thimpu. It was built by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel to serve as a capital of Bhutan in the past and it is still the winter residence of the central Monks. In 1970, Punakha Dzong was the site of the coronation of Ugyen Wangchuck as the first king of Bhutan. In 1987, the catastrophic fires and an earthquake that destroy the many historic documents Punakha Dzong houses sacred artifacts and embalmed body of Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel. Punakha's climate and warmer temperatures make its valley one of the most fertile in Bhutan.
Bumthang
The valleys of Trongsa and Bumthang are separated by Yutola Pass (Alt 11,500ft) Bumthang has an individuality that separates it from all other regions. Composed of four smaller valleys are Chhumey, Choekor, Tang and Ura. The Chummy is famous for its woven woolen goods. Likewise Choekor, tang and Ura are famous for quaint village high in the mountains, many sacred places where Buddhism entered first in Bhutan. Bhumthang literally means “beautiful field” and often referred to as a country’s spiritual heart. It is also the traditional home to the great Buddhist abode Pema Lingpa to whom, the present monarchy traces it ancestral lineage. Bumthang is also famous for yathra which is a unique material woven from coarse sheep wool, intricately designed and colored to form breathtaking patterns.
Wangdue Phodrang
This is the last town on the highway before entering Central Bhutan. Sitting on the top of a hill, the formidable Dzong is the town's most visible features. In the 17th century Wangdue played a critical role in unifying western, central and southern Bhutan. The town itself is little more than an enlarged village with well-provided shops and hotels. The road from Wang due to Trongsa is one of the prettiest in Bhutan passing streams, forests and villages before climbing the Pelela Pass on the Black Mountain ranges in to the Trongsa valley. South of the highway is the Gangtey Gompa an old monastery dating from the 17th century. A few kilometers past the Gompa is the village of Phobjikha - one of the winter homes of the Black Necked Cranes who migrate to Bhutan from central Asia to pass.
Bhutan Festivals
Bhutan is one of the most religious countries in the Tibetan Buddhist world. Religious festivals are held annually in Bhutan’s at various time of the year. The main purpose of the festivals is to ward off evil through music, dancing, rituals and to bring the good fortune to the next year. You can watch mask dances, sword dances, and fire dances, performed in the courtyards of the Dzong. Each dance has its own spiritual importance and can be formed either by Monks or by laypersons, and most of the dances date back to before the Middle Ages. At the end of some festivals you can witness the unveiling of the thongrel, which is a tapestary of sorts that is hung from a wall in the dzongs courtyard. It is said that watching the unveiling of a thongrel will bring you good luck.
Many visitors come to Bhutan to enjoy the most popular festivals, which are held in Paro in the spring and, in Thimphu and Bumthang in the fall. Festivals are well worth because they give you a different sense of Bhutanese culture plus they are fun and entertaining.
