Taking its position along the riverbed of the lush Thimphu Valley is Bhutan’s capital and most contemporary city – Thimphu. The densely forested valley sides are scattered with ancient monasteries and temples, as is the city itself, maintaining its rich traditions amid the city’s advancements. Thimphu is a beacon of Bhutan’s illustrious kingdom, showcasing the finest art, culture and architecture of the country. After you adjust to the altitude, embark on an exploration of the valley, visiting the majestic Buddha Dordenma statue, the Zorig Chusum, the impressive Tashichho Dzong and of course, the lively streets and markets of the city.
At OROKO, we’ve been to Thimphu many times and adore its mix of modern luxuries and ancient history. Bhutan is a place that is extremely rewarding, but also a destination where specialist knowledge is vital.
