Bhutan’s oldest monastery is in the ancient hamlet of Punakha. It takes a 3 hours drive from capital Thimpu to reach this enchanting place. Blessed with a temperate climate, Punakha is located at an altitude of 1,300 metres. The Buddhist monastery, Punakha Dzong is placed strategically at the junction of the Pho Chu (male) and Mo Chu (female) rivers. Built in 1637 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to serve as the religious and administrative centre of the region, it was damaged over the centuries by four catastrophic fires and an earthquake and has been fully restored in recent years by the present monarch.
