Punakha Dzong is hands down one of the most beautiful sites you'll visit in Bhutan. Imagine this huge fortress located perfectly where two rivers merge - it's like a fairytale come to life. Locals constructed this gem back in 1637, and quite frankly, they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Those golden roofs and clean white walls set against that green valley? Magic.
If you are visiting and looking for things to do in Bhutan, make this one your number one. We promise you, when the purple jacaranda trees begin to bloom around the fort in spring, you'll see why everyone speaks of it nonstop. Strolling through the courtyards and looking at the monks in their crimson robes as they go about their day - it's something special.
Here's the best part: this isn't merely a fancy building. Bhutan's very first king was crowned here, and they still celebrate major ceremonies in this location. If you're a history enthusiast or simply an architecture enthusiast, you won't be let down. Let’s walk together through centuries of culture, faith, and natural beauty with our Bhutan Tour Packages.
