Buddha Dordenma Statue སྟོན་པ་རྡོར་གདན་མ།
Kuenselphodrang, Thimphu, Bhutan
In 2020, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Bhutan, where the mystical aura of Buddha Dordenma Statue in Kuenselphodrang, Thimphu, left an indelible mark on my soul. As the world grappled with uncertainty, the serene countenance of the majestic statue, standing at 169 feet, brought a sense of tranquility. The intricate details of the golden figure seemed to whisper tales of wisdom. Surrounded by the panoramic beauty of Thimphu, the spiritual ambiance of the site was truly transformative. Gazing upon the valley from that vantage point felt like a moment frozen in time. In 2024, I wish to go there again, to rekindle the memories and find solace in the eternal presence of Buddha Dordenma.

Dochula Pass Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Even if you just plan to stroll around the capital, you must drive to the Duchu la pass once, and the scenery here will never let you down. Where weather permits, you can see a panoramic view of the snow peaks of the Himalayas, including the highest peak in Bhutan, Gangkarpunsum at an altitude of 7542. The fifth king also built 108 pagodas here to commemorate the dead and pray for peace. This picture of the stupa, the prayer flags and the snow-capped mountains has become a new landmark of Bhutan, almost appearing in every postcard. On the showcase.
