Dochula view point stop: The first stop after leaving Thimphu is Dochula pass at 3100m. Only about 45 minutes from Thimphu, it
offers visitors their first glimpse of the Himalayan range. The road to Punakha branches left and curls its way down to the relatively low
lands of the Punakha valley. As you are just about to reach Punakha visit :-
Chimi Lhakhang (Fertility Temple): Situated on a hillock in the centre of the valley is the yellow-roofed Chimi Lhakhang, built in 1499
by the cousin of Lama Drukpa Kunley in his honour after he subdued the demoness of the nearby Dochu La with his magic thunderbolt
of wisdom. A wooden effigy of the lamas thunderbolt is preserved in the lhakhang, and childless women go to the temple to receive a
blessing or empowerment from the saint. Its a pleasant 20 minute walk across fields from the road at Sopsokha to the temple. It
crosses an archery ground before making a short climb to the temple.
Punakha Dzong: Majestically standing on an island between the confluence of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers, the city's dzong is
one of the most photogenic of all Bhutan's ancient fortresses, and you will see pictures of it hanging in hotels and restaurants
throughout the country. The dzong is joined to the mainland by an arched wooden bridge, and contains many precious relics from the
days when successive kings reined the kingdom from this valley.

Taksang Monastery (Tigers Nest Temple): The most famous of Bhutanese monasteries. It is said that Guru Rinpoche arrived here
on the back of a tigress and meditated at this monastery hence it is called Tigers Nest. Precariously perched on the edge of 1,200
meter cliff, this monastery creates an impressive sight, and is the unofficial symbol of Bhutan. It is about 2 hour up-hill hike or ride a
horse from the parking lot to the monastery. If the full hike sounds a bit tough you can hike for 1 hour to the cafetaria, a wooden
tea-house restaurant which offers a good view of the monastery.
