Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten is a stunning newly constructed Stupa

Located in the midst of pine trees the gorgeous Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten is a stunning newly constructed Stupa built to ward of negative forces and ensure peace and harmony for all sentient beings. The Chorten is a classic example of the ostentatious and visually striking Bhutanese architecture unique to Bhutan. After crossing an iron suspension bridge it is a gentle uphill hike of about an hour through the paddy fields, traditional houses and well paved pathway.

 

The view from the Chorten is a feast for the eyes with a panorama of terraced paddy fields, traditional houses scattered all over, the magnificent Punakha Dzong in the distance and the meandering female river cutting across the landscape. The gentle hike, the beautiful Chorten, the amazing view and the peace and serenity offers a surreal experience for visitors.

Sweeping views of the Tang valley and the landscape can be enjoyed along the way with a bird’s eye view from the main site.
