Thimphu is Bhutan's capital, a small and relaxed city set in a pine-covered valley along the Wang Chhu river. It mixes grand dzongs, monasteries and craft schools with cafés and markets, and famously has no traffic lights.
A guided day around the capital's key sights, typically including the giant Buddha Dordenma statue, the National Memorial Chorten and Tashichho Dzong, the seat of Bhutan's government. A good introduction to Bhutanese culture and architecture.
A mountain pass at about 3,100 m on the road from Thimphu to Punakha, known for its 108 memorial chortens. On clear days it offers sweeping views of the eastern Himalayan peaks.
