A gigantic bronze gold plated Buddha statue that overlooked the city. A big courtyard that was guarded by golden angels or goddesses in different postures . The view from the top was good. Full review by karswarna

If you can afford 40-50 thousand per hour, it is fine but I did not see much sense in it as road travel is awesome, one finds lot of scenic beauty at eye level. Pls note that helicopter charges are in the range of US Dollar 5000 to 6000 per hour. Indian citizens need to carry voter ID card or passport to enter Bhutan Have a great time ahead.

Hi manu k. All of these places in the Thimpu region are excellent choices to see and I would strongly suggest to visit Simply Bhutan and the Post office. I can not tell you the entry fees to any of the great places to visit as this was part of our tour cost with the excellent-Above the Himilaya trekking tours from Nepal. They used the excellent services of ABC tours in Bhutan to escort my wife and I in our 11 day tour of Bhutan which included Paro, Haa valley, Thimpu, Gangtey, Punahka and the beautiful Phobjikha valley. Our excellent guide Dorji and driver Passo were very informative and professional. I am sorry I can not recall the fees, but if you get a great tour company as we did as mentioned above, the accomodation, food and entrance fees to amazing sights- will be all included. I hope this helps and you will love Bhutan. Happy travelling, regards, Alex

As it is a monument temple I don't think it will be closed as usually temples are open during all festivals. Beside the Buddha Statue is not locked it is perched on top of the hill so no question of it being closed.
