Situated at 2400 meters, this small capital city rests upon a hillside overlooking a fertile valley along the banks of the Thimphu Chhu River. One of the world’s smallest capital cities and the only one without traffic lights, Thimphu is a gallery of traditional Bhutanese architecture and rich culture. Isolated from the rest of the world for most of its existence, Thimphu faces the challenge of preserving its traditional lifestyle in a time of growing western influence, making it a unique destination.

As the capital of Bhutan, Thimphu is the country’s center of government, religion and commerce. With an intriguing mixture of tradition and modernity, this city is home to many Buddhist monks, businessmen, politicians, expatriates, civil servants and most importantly the Kings and the Royal Family members. You will be taken to many significant cultural sites including temples, chortens, museums, the National Library, the Painting school and much more.
