Our tour in the Cultural Heartlands of Bhutan begins in Thimphu where we enjoy the capital city’s many cultural wonders like the Tashichhodzong, mini zoo, Memorial Chorten and others. Next, we visit Punakha and tour the beautiful Khansum Yulley Namgyal Chorten and Ritsha village. Our next stop will be Bumthang, also believed to be the religious heartland of Bhutan and home to some of its oldest Buddhist temples and monasteries. One of the must-see landmarks of the region is the Jambey Lhakhang, a temple built in 659 A.D. by the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo. In Wangdue we appreciate the beauty of Phobjikha Valley and the beautiful slate and stone carvings of the area. We drive via Dochu La pass to Paro and end our Cultural Heartlands of Bhutan tour with a hike to the much revered Tiger’s Nest Monastery the next day.
