Travel Guide

Punakha Dzong, Bhutan
Punakha Dzong, Bhutan
The most elegant and most massive of all the Dzongs in Bhutan.
The Punakha Dzong was constructed in the 1600s and is the second oldest dzong in Bhutan and it also served as the seat of Bhutan's government until the mid 1950s. Spend a day here admiring the architecture and listening to the monks chant. #StunningStructures #Bhutan
Inside the Punakha dzong. To the left is the entrance to the temple. While I was there, the monks had chanting/voice lessons. #StunningStructures #Bhutan
