About Thimphu Tour Packages: Culture & Heritage in Bhutan’s Capital & Regional Travel Overview

Key sights include the colossal 169 ft Buddha Dordenma statue overlooking the valley, the impressive fortress of Tashichho Dzong (seat of the government and central monastic body), and the National Memorial Chorten.
