What to do and see in Bhutan, Bhutan: The Best Historic Sites
Remote Bhutan first allowed the world a peek inside in 1974. With four millennia of habitation, the Himalayan kingdom offers a trove of archaeological treasures, including many ornate temples and dzong fortresses. Isolation has preserved the heavily Buddhist-influenced culture of the last Shangri-La.

This is really the best place to visit in Bhutan! But you must be fit to hike to the temple, we took 1hr to reach mid height cafe , another 1 hour to reach viewing point, then another 30mins to climb 800steps (down and upstairs) to reach the temple!!! Amazing view and beautiful landscapes and wonderful temple sit at the side of the cliff 900m above paro valley!!!

Though visitors cannot enter the ruins of this formerly majestic fortress, it's worth a visit for the gorgeous backdrop of Chomolhari mountain.
