Thimphu Holidays
Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, is the world’s only capital without traffic lights or high rise buildings. But it is center of government, religion and commerce in Bhutan. All buildings in the city adopt the unique Bhutanese architecture, making it one of the most picturesque capitals you will ever come across.
Thimphu is a very lively place, an interesting combination of tradition and modernity with plenty of things to see. If you’re in Thimphu at the weekend don’t forget to visit the market: This is where people from all over the country meet, a colourful mix of people. At the market you will find mouth-watering, exotic fruits and vegetables as well as traditional handicraft items.
The highlights of Thimphu include:
Tashichhodzong, “the Fortress of the Glorious Religion”, is one of the countries finest buildings. 
It is situated by the Wang river. It is the seat of the government, houses His Majesty’s secretariat and during the summer months also the central monk body.
The National Memorial Chorten was built as a memorial to Bhutan’s third king, “the Father of Modern Bhutan”, and as a monument to world peace. The Chorten is of great significance to religious life of the people and symbolizes Buddha’s teachings. It contains three chapels and occasionally religious ceremonies are performed here. Circumambulate the chorten clockwise to gain merit for your next life!
The National Institute of Traditional Medicine is where herbal medicines are made up and dispensed and traditional medicine practitioners are trained. The Institute for Zorig Chusum is the place where students learn the 13 traditional arts and crafts of Bhutan. The National Library houses an extensive collection of Buddhist literature including many ancient Buddhist manuscripts and texts in block-printed format
Visit the government-run Handicrafts Emporium, which carries a wide range of hand-woven textiles and craft products, and browse in the bookshops and many smaller handicrafts shops around the town.
