About
In the heart of Bhutan, Punakha offers a journey through history and nature that is uniquely its own. At the center of this region lies the Punakha Dzong, an architectural marvel that stands majestically at the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers. This ancient fortress, known for its intricate woodwork and stunning backdrop of jacaranda trees, is not just a sight to behold but also a living part of Bhutan's spiritual and governmental life. Nearby, the quaint village of Lobesa invites exploration with its serene landscapes and the famous Chimi Lhakhang, a temple dedicated to the "Divine Madman", known for its fertility blessings.
