    Bhutan's Ancient Capital

    Journey onwards to Punakha. Take a short hike to a storied small temple dedicated to the Divine Madman and admire Punakha's massive, river-side fortress.

What a fantastic trip! We loved the itinerary, the country was even more interesting, rich, and welcoming than we had imagined, and Tsewang was the best guide we have ever had on any trip, anywhere.
