Bumthang

Nestled in central Bhutan at 2,600 meters, Bumthang is a mystical valley where ancient Buddhist traditions thrive amid breathtaking alpine landscapes. Known as the “Switzerland of Bhutan,” this sacred region comprises four stunning valleys – Chokhor, Tang, Ura, and Chhume – each offering unique cultural treasures and natural wonders.

Explore the legendary Jakar Dzong, witness the sacred Jambay Lhakhang temple where Guru Rinpoche first brought Buddhism to Bhutan, and stroll through traditional villages where centuries-old customs remain beautifully preserved. The valley’s pristine forests, crystal-clear rivers, and terraced barley fields create a photographer’s paradise, while local artisans continue crafting exquisite yathra textiles and traditional wooden bowls.

Whether you’re seeking spiritual enlightenment at ancient monasteries, trekking through rhododendron forests, or sampling the region’s famous cheese and honey, Bumthang offers an authentic glimpse into Bhutan’s soul. This is where legends come alive and every prayer flag tells a story.
