Western Bhutan • Thimphu • Paro • Punakha • Wangdue Phodrang  • Phuentsholing   Bhutan Places to See -  Western Bhutan -  Central Bhutan -  Religious          Western Bhutan Thimphu Thimphu lies in a wooded valley, sprawling up a hillside on the West Bank of the Thimphu Chhu [Chhu means River]. Thimphu is unlike any other world capital. Small and secluded the city is quiet and there are never the traffic jams familiar in other Asian Capitals. It is often said that Thimphu is the only world capital without traffic lights. Thimphu's main shopping street is a delight not so much for what you can buy there, but for the picturesqueness of the architecture and national costume. Beautiful weaves in wool, silk and cotton, basketwork, silver jewellery, thangkas and other traditional crafts of the Kingdom are available in various Handicraft Emporiums.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Places to visit in and around Thimphu: 1: The Memorial Chorten [Chorten means Stupa]  2: Changlimithang [Battle Ground] 3: Weekly Market [Saturdays and Sundays] 4: Tashichoe Dzong [The biggest fortress in Bhutan] 5: National Library 6: School of Arts and Crafts 7: Royal Academy of Performing Arts 8: National Institute of Traditional Medicine 9: Zangto Pelri Lhakhang 10: Zoo 11:  Changangkha Lhakhang 12: Drubthob Goemba [Nunnery] 13: Dechencholing Palace 14: Pangri Zampa Temple 15: Tango Goemba 16: Chari Goemba 17: Simthoka Dzong   Day Hikes: 1: Tala Monastery 2: Phajoding Monastery 3: Thadra Monastery 4: Trashigang Nunnery    Bhutan Bhutan Trekking Suggested Tours Bhutan Information Visa Information Entry Procedure Air Ticketing Places To See Adve.
