Bhutan often revered as the “Land of the Thunder Dragon” or “Druk Yul”, is still regarded as one of the last “Shangri-La’s” in the Himalayan region because of its remoteness, its spectacular mountain terrain, varied flora and fauna, and its unique ancient Buddhist monasteries. Bhutan is no ordinary place. It is in the relatively unexplored pockets of Asia, which allows only a limited number of discerning travelers in order to preserve its fragile environment and culture in its magical purity.
Bhutan is a popular destination amongst tourists, especially from India. Tourism in Bhutan offers a variety of sightseeing and entertainment options. The wide range of Bhutan tourism packages provided by Travhoot allows the traveler to explore various Bhutan tourist places in comfort.

The massive Tashichho Dzong is a fortified monastery and government palace with gold-leaf roofs. The Memorial Chorten, a whitewashed structure with a gold spire, is a revered Buddhist shrine dedicated to Bhutan’s third king, Jigme Dorji Wangchuck.
Wangdue, Phodrang District is a dzongkhag of central Bhutan. This is also the name of the dzong which dominates the district, and the name of the small market town outside the gates of the dzong—it is the capital of Wangdue Phodrang District.
