Travel to Thimphu

THIMPHU – THE CAPITAL CITY OF BHUTAN

The capital of Bhutan is the center of Bhutanese administration. Being the world’s third highest capital, Thimphu sits amidst richly forested valleys, which lend this location its countryside charm. Despite being incessantly close to nature, you will enjoy access to the modern lifestyle in Thimphu. From multi-cuisine restaurants serving you beside ancient dzongs to maroon clothed monks walking past by discotheques, you can catch the taste of a little bit of both sides in Thimphu.
