Once in Thimpu, you will cover most of the scenery points, like Thimpu Kuenselcholing View Point and Buddha Point, from atop hills from where the entire sprawling city is seen in all its glory. Not just that, you will likewise visit the wonderful Buddha Dordenma Statue, thought to be one of the biggest statues of Buddha on the earth.

Other sites of interest will also mark your journey, including the famous Memorial Chorten, built in the memory of the Late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, considered to be a must visit place in the country. The fortress of Tashichho Dzong, now the seat of power in the country and also functioning as a monastery, provides a serene aura due to its location at the foot of beautiful green hills.
