  • After enjoying breakfast, get ready for a tour of Thimphu’s local attractions.
  • The National Memorial Chorten (Thimphu Chorten): This place is where many locals come for evening prayers. It was built in memory of Bhutan’s third king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, and was completed in 1974 after his untimely death. People walk around the chorten, spinning prayer wheels and chanting mantras. It stands as a symbol of peace and prosperity.
  • The Clock Tower: Located in the center of Thimphu, the Clock Tower Square is a beautiful example of Bhutanese architecture. The tower has four clock faces and is decorated with intricate carvings of flowers, paintings, and dragons. The dragons face each clock and represent the country’s independence. This area is popular with both locals and tourists, and it’s surrounded by shops, restaurants, and hotels. The square often hosts live music events, making it a lively spot. You can also buy gifts here or enjoy a picnic in the nearby playground.
  • Sakyamuni Buddha: On top of Kuensel Phodrang hill stands the giant statue of Buddha Dordenma. This 51.5-meter statue is made of gilded bronze and offers a stunning view of the valley. It’s a peaceful and breathtaking site, also known as Buddha Viewpoint.
  • Changangkha Lhakhang: One of the oldest and most important monasteries in Thimphu, dating back to the 15th century. It’s dedicated to Avalokiteshvara, the symbol of compassion. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Thimphu valley.
  • Takin Zoo: This zoo is home to Bhutan’s national animal, the Takin, an endangered species found only in Bhutan. The animals live in an open habitat, allowing you to see them in a more natural environment.
  • Trashi Chhoe Dzong: Known as the Fortress of the Glorious Region, this site is a must-visit. It sits on the west bank of the Wang Chhu River and is the coronation site of Bhutan’s fifth king. It also hosts the annual Tsechu Festival. Built in 1641, it was later rebuilt in the 1960s using traditional Bhutanese methods, without nails or architectural plans.
