Bumthang Dzongkhag · 2,580 m Elevation
Four interconnected central valleys of buckwheat fields, seventh-century Jambay Lhakhang, and Tang family manors.
Chokhor, Chumey, Tang, and Ura form the spiritual heartland of central Bhutan. Footpaths link riverside temples along the Chamkhar Chhu where village weavers still dye sheep wool over wood fires.
