1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #250

- Tashichho Dzong, Thimphu

 

(This beautiful dzong is where the head of the Bhutan government resides. It is an impressive fortress as well, and when inside its compound, has an aura of power. From the top of a nearby mountain 2days ago, it looked very royal with its golden roofs - in fact the King and Queen's home next door is rather humble-looking. We were inside the main monastery and was given blessings by a monk who gave us holy water on our hands to spread over one's head. Can you spot their only 9hole public golf course beside this dzong? I wonder how far my golfball will travel at 2500m above sea level)
