Thimphu Valley
:
Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan since 1960, lies at an
elevation of over 7600 ft. The Tashichho Dzong is the centre
of administration and also the summer residence of the
monastic order. The annual Thimphu Tsechu is held in its
courtyard. The other significant structure is the SAARC
Secretariat, which houses the National Assembly. Thimphu town,
although small, is nonetheless a vibrant place. The
Handicrafts Emporium, displaying the best of Bhutanese
textiles and souvenirs, and the Memorable Chorten, dedicated
to the late king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, are places to Visit.
Paro
Valley:
One of
the biggest and most fertile valleys, Paro is the location of
Bhutan’s only airport. One can fly here from Kathmandu, Delhi,
Kolkotta and Bangkok. Shortly new destinations like Singapore,
Hong Kong, Rangoon, and Bangalore in India will also be
linked. People here are mainly farmers, working terraced
fields against the backdrop of the imposing Rimpung Dzong. It
also boasts the National Museum wherein is preserved much of
the rich history of the nation. Overlooking the valley from
the north is the Taktsang Monastery, or the Tigers Nest, built
on a sheer rock face. Legend has it that Guru Rimpoche (Padsambhava)
flew here on the back of a tigress. At the far end of the
valley stand the ruins of the Drukgyal Dzong, the fortress
from which many Tibetan invasions were repulsed.
Trashgang and Yangtse:The road from Mongar
passes the Yedi loops. For eight kilometers, the road creates
figure-eights as it descends to the valley floor. Arriving in
Trashigang is momentous as it marks the end of a 547-kilometer
drive from Thimphu
. The town, also high up on a mountain, is busier than most
other Bhutanese towns. Trashigang is used as a market place
for the hill-people of Merak and Sakten who are known for
their exceptional features and costume, which is brightly
colored and different from customary Bhutanese clothing. The
17th century Dzong is built on top of a cliff on the edge of
the town. The views from the courtyard of the Dzong stretch
across Trashigang's valley. From the parapets it is easy to
see why the Dzong was impenetrable to invading armies. Until
the recent opening of an administrative center at Yangtse
Dzong, Trashigang was the center of all religious and secular
activity for the region. The town remains the capital of the
east and a growing commercial center. Yangtse Dzong is a half
hour walk from the road. A town has developed around Chorten
Kora, one of the only two chortens built in a style prevalent
in Nepal and the spot where Guru Rimpoche is believed to have
had a vision that a temple and chorten would be built. Yangtse
offers exciting trekking opportunities and is one of the two
locations where the Black-necked cranes migrate. The area is
also known for its exceptional woodcraft |
