- Nice place to view the city of Thimphu from the top - It can get quite windy, so do dress up. - Do make sure your foot wear is easily removable as many places requires to remove shoes. Full review by Jeremy P

in Short: since Bhutan is a long way to travel and not exactly cheap I suggest you take advantage of any and all things that come your way. I garuntee that you will not be disappointed. Paro, Thimpu and Punakah are perfect if short on time. All senses are stimulated while traveling in the “Land of the Thunder Dragon.”

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

cant recall but I think it should be open. If there is a festival, all the more reason why it should be. Better to check if important. I personally think it is not an issue even if closed as the journey, the atmosphere (weather, breeze, spectacular mountain view) all add to the charm, the idol itself is too huge to be missed even if the area is closed- thus you can make a visit anyways. Just important that you reach there in time before it gets dark so you enjoy the place. Have an enjoyable visit!
