Thimphu Tourism

 

Capital to the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, Thimphu is perhaps the smallest

capital in the world. Thimphu is a gallery of traditional Bhutanese art, architecture, culture, and tradition and above all still so ethnic and pure. For most part of its history, Bhutan has tried consciously to save its culture from the blunt influences of the western world. It is not that modernity has not reached this region, but they are being introduced in a phased and balanced manner that is unheard of at any place in the world. All these make Thimphu and other parts of the country a unique destination.

 

Come to the land of peaceful Dragon and enjoy the cultural vibrancy

and natural splendour that Thimphu offers to its guests.

 

Most important aspect Thimphu is its culture and its natural beauty, both of them giving

it a unique advantage. Make sure that you have visited all the important attractions in

Thimphu in the first place. Shopping for exotic items in the local markets and

handicrafts emporiums is an experience in itself and shows you many aspects of local

culture that is religiously protected from outside influences. Spicy cousins of Bhutan

have no parallel on earth and dining in some ethnic restaurant is an unforgettable

experience. Entire region around Thimphu has excellent trekking routes of different

levels giving you ample opportunities for hiking, trekking, river rafting, and wildlife

excursions.
