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.

Wangduephodrang

In the series of districts open for tourists in western Bhutan, Wangduephodrang is the last one before you enter into central Bhutan through a long stretch of highway. It is a small and clean town famous for its slate and stone carvings, and bamboo work. The Wangduephodrang Dzong, which had a political significance in the 17th century, is situated on the hill. Central Bhutan is a two-hour drive from Wangduephodrang. On your way, you can visit Gantey Gompa, a beautifully located monastery, and Phobjika Valley where the black-necked cranes migrate from Tibet every year in late autumn.
