Bhutan - General Information
|
|
|
|
Known to the natives as
Druk Yul [Land of the Thunder Dragon], Bhutan is
regarded as the last paradise on earth. Its isolation,
spectacular mountains, varied flora and fauna, ancient
Buddhist monasteries, vibrant culture and mystic aura
have made it so.
Though small in size, the kingdom’s topography is one
of dramatic contrasts. From the near-tropical southern
border with India at an altitude of 300 m, the land
rises to culminate in the over 7000 m peaks of the
Himalaya in the north which form a natural frontier with
Tibetan region of Bhutan’s northern neighbour, China.
Lying in a valley [elevation 2,350 m], Thimphu is unlike
any other capital in the world. The traditional
architecture of its houses and buildings is particularly
striking.
The places to visit are the Memorial Chorten, dedicated
to the late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk; Tashichho Dzong,
seat of the Government of Bhutan and the summer
residence of the central monk body; the Traditional
Medicine Hospital where herbal medicines are prepared;
the National Library, a treasure trove of ancient texts;
the institute of Zorig Chosum for thanka painting,
sculpture, wood and slate carving, gold works,
embroidery and traditional boot making; Changangkha
Lakhang which contains ancient scriptures and thanka
paintings; and Simtokha Dzong, Bhutan âs oldest fortress
which now houses a school for Buddhist studies. You can
also visit the smithy on the other side of the Thimphu
river to see traditional gold and silver smiths at work. |
