Overview

Host to four stunning mountain valleys and an abundance of ancient monasteries and temples, Bumthang ranks as the most historic of all Bhutan districts. Considered the Himalayan Kingdom ‘s spiritual centre, Bumthang is a lovely place to visit if you have a keen interest in religion, spirituality and history.
