The Majestic Punakha Dzong
Punakha Dzong in Punakha, dubbed ‘The Palace of Great Happiness,’ served as the country’s capital until the early twentieth century. It is Bhutan’s second oldest and largest dzong, with exquisite interior and intricate embellishments like murals, carved woodwork, and paintings.

Punakha is #Bhutan’s winter capital, thanks to the region’s pleasant temperature. This dzong is where Bhutan’s chief of clergy and his entourage of monks spend the winter. The dzong is surrounded by jacaranda trees, which blossom with mauve flowers in the spring. Punakha is also home to Bhutan’s longest suspension bridge (Punakha Suspension Bridge), as well as Chimi Lhakhang, the Divine Madman’s fertility temple.
