Famously called the Buddha point, this majestic figure had an unmissable aura! It was eerily calm and quiet here! #buddhapoint #bhutan101 #travels2018
Different #mask at display at Thimpu Handicrafts. The small mountain kingdom of #Bhutan is known for its larger than life mask dances which are an integral part of the country's remarkable #cultural and religious #traditions. People believe that by watching these dances they can purify their souls and bring themselves good luck.

Tucked away in a corner of Thimpu is this quiet and unassuming Simtokha Dzong. Beautiful carvings, hand painted flags, intricate mani prayer wheels, an old courtyard from the 16th century. Its easy to say this was my favorite place in Bhutan. You can spend hours here just reading a book or soaking in the calm.
