The walk begins as you cross the Mo Chhu River on one of Bhutan’s unique prayer flag adorned iron-chain suspension bridges. It’s less than an hour’s walk uphill to the impressive Buddhist stupa, but extra time will be allowed for rests and the chance to interact with farmers and other locals along the way. The path takes you past terraced rice plantations, fields of colourful flowers and intricate prayers wheels.

The 3 storey Chorten is a fascinating building with whitewashed walls, a carved wooden facade and a gold dome on top. Inside are animated depictions of various effigies and from the top storey, there are exquisite views of the valley.

The walk can be enjoyed at any point in the morning and can be combined with a picnic breakfast in the Chorten grounds or can finish with lunch in town.

You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively with you.
