Thimphu Dzongkhag · 2,320 m Elevation
A mountain capital without traffic lights where elders circle Memorial Chorten and oak trails climb to Cheri Goemba.
Thimphu stretches along a narrow wooded river valley where red-robed monks cross pedestrian lanes beside civil servants in gho and kira. Thirty minutes north of town, the road ends at Dodena beneath quiet monastery retreats.
