Its golden triangle – Thimphu, Paro and Punakha are ideally situated at almost equal distances and concentrated in the western area, making it easy to combine them all together during a trip.
Fly into Paro from where you can drive to Thimpu. En route you pass the Tamchog Lhakhang built by Thang Tong Gyalpo (iron bridge builder-a saint from the 14^th-15^th century who introduced the art of building suspension bridges with iron chains).
Thimphu, the pretty capital of Bhutan, is a blend of the traditional and the modern. It is the only capital in the world without streetlights, relying, instead, on the elegant gestures of the traffic policemen. The population of Thimphu stands at around 40,000. Geographically speaking the capital lies in a valley with the Thimphu River running through the valley.
