Central Bhutan

Central Bhutan stands as an enticing destination for visitors, boasting some of the nation’s most revered historical and religious sites. Trongsa district, positioned at the heart of the country, holds significant political relevance, while Bumthang district shelters ancient temples and monasteries of utmost importance in Bhutanese heritage.

Within this region, numerous landmarks beckon exploration. Notable among these are Kurje Lhakhang, constructed in 1652 at the site where the esteemed Buddhist saint Guru Rimpoche meditated; Tamshing Lhakhang, an architectural treasure dating back to 1501, founded by the religious revealer Terton Pema Lingpa; and Mebar Tsho, a sacred lake where Pema Lingpa discovered religious treasures hidden by Guru Rimpoche.

Moreover, the Watchtower of Trongsa Museum, transformed from an ancient tower into a museum dedicated to the Wangchuck dynasty, offers invaluable insights into Bhutan’s political history. Additionally, Chendebji Chorten, a visually striking religious structure adorned with eyes painted in the cardinal directions, is steeped in legend, and believed to have been built to subdue the remains of an evil spirit embodied as a colossal serpent.

Beyond the traditional annual religious festivals (Tshechus), Central Bhutan hosts newer festivals like the Nomad’s Festival and the Matsutake Mushroom Festival in Ura, Bumthang, celebrating the rich cultural traditions of the region.

Encompassing breathtaking natural beauty, the region boasts miles of pristine alpine and sub-tropical broadleaf forests teeming with diverse flora and fauna. The Thrumshingla National Park, a gem within this expanse, is renowned for sheltering rare and endangered avian species such as the Rufous-necked hornbill, Rufous-throated wren-babbler, Satyr Tragopan, Beautiful Nuthatch, Ward’s Trogon, and Chestnut-breasted partridge. Explorers might even be fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of majestic creatures like the Royal Bengal Tiger or the charming Red Panda thriving within the park’s confines.

Ten days tour to Bhutan is an amazing experience. We are fortunate to have Nawang Drakpa (our guide) who is knowledgeable, kind and understanding. He ensures our safety and attentive to our needs. Would also like to praise our driver (Anil Gurung) who carefully drove along the winding mountainous road. Both of them look after our wellbeing. At some point of our tracks, they gave us a welcome surprise by bringing us picnics any time tea & coffee with a beautiful view of Bhutan. Thank you Book Bhutan Tour Mr. Ram Dorji Tamang for having Nawang and Anil! It is an unforgettable experience in Bhutan.
