One of the loveliest places to visit in Bhutan is the Rinpung Dzong. This fort is also known as the Fortress on the heap of jewels. Its 16th century architecture is said to be a shining example of Bhutanese craftsmanship. The beautiful Buddhist paintings and murals are a rare treat and a treasured memory to back with you.
Tip: Do not click photographs inside. Remove all footwear before going in and make sure your knees and elbows are covered.
Another one of the unique places to visit in Bhutan is the Chele La Pass. It is located at an altitude of around 4000 meters. You’ll have to pass the Ha Valley in Paro to get to it. But once there, you will be enchanted by its wild flowers, waterfalls and clouds that feel so close you can almost touch them.
Tip: Young children and senior citizens might get altitude sickness at this point. Everyone has to get used to the high altitude starting higher-altitude explorations. Also, dress in layers – the open winds make it colder than it actually is.
This statue is Bhutan’s tribute to the lord Buddha, whose learnings and worship govern its very ways of life. Legend has it, that there are 1,25,000 little Buddhas inside this giant statue. It sits on top of a hill in Kuenselphodrang Nature Park, overlooking the southern entrance to Thimpu Valley. It is one of the important places to visit in Bhutan. You can get a glimpse of it from anywhere in Thimpu. But its stunning gold and bronze craftsmanship and stature merits an up-close viewing.
Tip: It is a deity. Be respectful when around it and ensure you don’t offend the locals.
This monastery houses the remains of the revered Guru Rinpoche. It is a landmark destination, making it one of the important places to visit in Bhutan. It is located in Paro at 10,000 feet above the sea level. So it’s a bit of a trek.
But your efforts are rewarded by the blessings of this holy place and a majestic view of the Paro Valley. Be sure to see the cave temples and the tiger’s nest.
Tip: A trek to the monastery is quite long and steep. Consult with locals before embarking on this trip with children or senior citizens.
Situated at a very high altitude of 10,200 feet, this pass is off the tourist trail and therefore, one of the off-beat places to visit in Bhutan. It is located on the route from Thimpu to Punakha. These caves are built with stone and have colourful Bhutanese dragons painted on them. For those who venture higher, there is a magnificent view of places to meditate.
Tip: This is an extremely high altitude, so the usual warnings of taking young children and elderly people apply. If it’s not summer, dress in layers.
This preserve is in Thimpu itself and is populated by Takins – Bhutan’s national animal, making it a great pick among Bhutan’s tourist places. These beasts are gentle and are a mix between cows and goats, making for a strange but unforgettable sight.
Tip: Children will enjoy the most. Carry cameras or a good camera-phone!

This temple has murals of phalluses painted everywhere so you might want to consider the finer feelings of senior citizens. But it is really one of the can’t-miss attractions among Bhutan’s tourist places. Visitors travel from around the world to seek blessings here.
