Very ornate temple in a beautiful setting.
May 2019
This was the last Dzong we visited on our trip and it was still impressive, even though the art and architecture becomes redundant after about the 5th temple. The covered bridge over the fast moving river and the abundance of flowers and landscaping made this a very picturesque stop on out tour. We had already been to the tigers nest so this seemed somewhat anti climatic. We spent about 3 hours here and entered all the various temples and altars and also toured the monks quarters which I think required some string pulling by our guide.

Bhutan might look and being better if it can turn to be similar as Switzerland. With the big lake and railway surrounding. All the best.

Beautiful Traditional Architecture
Dec 2019
This is a beautiful living monument of Bhutanese Traditional Architecture, inside it is very vibrant with the monks going about with their daily chores and studies. People come to pray at the different temples.
