1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #242 - Buddha Dordenma, Thimphu

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #242

- Buddha Dordenma, Thimphu

 

(This giant golden statue of Buddha will be one of the tallest in the world at 51m, when fully completed. Seated high atop the mountain at the southern part of Thimphu, it gleams beautifully under the mid-day sun. There will also be 100,000 8-inch tall and 25,000 12-inch replicas inside, with names of sponsors of this project inscribed on each. The surrounding views of Thimphu from this vantage point are breathtaking as well)
