Bhutan, the land of the peaceful thunder dragon is known to the world by several names such as the ‘the Last Shangri-La’ or ‘the Last Place on the Roof of the World.’ Though the original name from the time of Marco Polo was ‘Bootan,’ the natives prefer to call their country ‘Druk Yul,’ or the Land of the Peaceful Thunder Dragon. Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, Bhutan offers spectacular mountain views, immense scenic beauty and a unique culture and lifestyle. |

Places to Visit in Bhutan
Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan houses about 60,000 people, and is the most populated district in the country. There is so much to see in Thimphu that you will surely spend several days here. Proximity of many of the sights makes it possible and easier to travel in the town on foot. This way of traveling will provide you a chance of observing the culture and the way of life in Bhutan. The town has no traffic lights, and you will observe this while strolling through the streets.
There are two very interesting museums in Thimphu, the Textile Museum and the Folk Heritage Museum. Both the museums are dedicated to the traditions and lifestyle of Bhutanese. While the Textile Museum beautifully displays the garments worn by Bhutanese from the 1600s upto the present, the Folk Heritage Museum tells you about the daily life of the rural folk and lets you explore a traditional Bhutanese home.
The weekend market is a fun to wander and is one of the major attractions of Thimphu. Apart from the variety of cuisines of the country, you will also find stalls of handicraft and household items.
Some of the other attractions of Thimphu Valley are temples, monasteries, dzongs, archery fields, a zoo, handicraft shops, restaurants, the National Library, the School of Arts and Crafts, a traditional paper factory, a radio tower (offering a picturesque view of the valley), and the National Institute of Traditional Medicine.
