      Thimphu
      (at 2300m) is Bhutan's capital city and center of government, religion and commerce. About two hours drive east from Paro is this a unique city with unusual mixture of modern development alongside ancient traditions. Home to civil servants, expatriates and monk body, Thimphu maintains a strong national character in its architectural style. It was a wooded farming valley until 1961, when it became Bhutan's official national capital. The massive Tashicho Dzong, about 700 years old, was carefully revamped in the 1960s by the late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk to house the royal and main government offices. Even today, it still only has a few streets and no traffic lights with estimated population of 70,000 people. Thimphu has many places and sights to visit, in addition to several day excursion possibilities. It has relatively more choice in terms of the accommodations.
      Tashichho Dzong
      This fortress serves as the office of the King, ministers and various government organizations. It also is the headquarters for central monastic body of Bhutan. Bhutan's spiritual leader Je-Khenpo and the monks of both Thimphu and Punakha reside here during summer. It is also the venue for Thimphu Festival in the fall season.
      Memorial Chorten
      This white and tall landmark of Thimphu was built in 1974 in the memory of third King, Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, who is popularly regarded as Father of Modern Bhutan. It is a four-storey tall white building, containing statues and iconography of deities from complex tantric teachings and serves as an important place of worship for Thimphu residents, as well as from other parts of the country.
      Zilukha Nunnery
      is housed in Drubthob Goemba (monastery). There are about 70 nuns who live and pray everyday in the monastery. There are good views of Tashicho Dzong, Golf course and upper Thimphu.
      Takin Sanctuary
      Takin (Budorcas taxicolor) has been chosen as the national animal of Bhutan is based both on its uniqueness and its association with country's history and mythology. It is said that Devine Madman, a popular saint is said to have created it with his magical power at a large congregation of devotees. It resembles a cow from back, a goat in from the front, and it continues to befuddle taxonomists, who cannot quite relate to other animal.
      Paper Factory
      Traditional papers were made from the daphne plant, using simple methods. Like rice papers, these papers are said to last longer. 
      Sangaygang View Point (Telecom Tower)
      There's a wonderful view of Thimphu valley from the hillside below the telecommunications tower (elevation 2685m), high above the town at the end of a road that branches off from the approach to the youth centre. The complex also houses the broadcasting studios of Bhutan television. Don't photograph the telecommunications installation, but the valley is worth a few snaps.

Possibly, your picnic lunch is planned at Chedebji Chorten (Stupa) patterned after Swayambhunath in Kathmandu. It is a popular picnic lunch and pilgrimage for Bhutanese driving east-west road. 
      On arrival in Trongsa, you may visit the inner courtyard of historical Trongsa Dzong. Trongsa is a very popular place with largest Dzong in Bhutan and certainly one of the most impressive ones.

    Best season to visit Bhutan

    Bhutan can visit throw-out the year although the best time to visit Bhutan is months in autumn and spring. Month of March till May is more beautiful with different flowers in the different valleys. The temperature is cool even in high passes. Clear sky, dry weather and less humid is perfect time to explore beautiful views of valley and mountain peaks. Temperature in these months remains from 3 degree while driving to high passes mountain region till 25 degree Celsius inside valley. Simply bring your sunglass, light clothes, a hat and a pair of clothes to use in the place where cold temperature belongs. But you are not staying overnight or long time in this cold temperature. Month of September till November is also same as March to May. Temperature and views can expect same but your will enjoy blooming flowers more in March till May month.

    Months of winter (December to Feb) and months of summer (June – August) also can visit Bhutan. If you are only in the plan of visiting monasteries and temples, this months are perfect and this is less touristic season which is benefit far from the crowd.
