One of the first things that a traveller can picture in his mind when someone mentions the Bhutanese city of Thimphu, is a land of breathtaking mountains. Well, that’s what Thimphu is all about. It is one of those hill towns where a traveller would want to spend a good amount of time, and a few mountain lovers would like to spend a lifetime in. Keeping the natural beauty apart, Thimphu is also home to a lot of socio-cultural richness that the city has attained over the years. Right from the spiritual experiences of a place to enjoying a game of archery which is the national sport of Bhutan, Thimphu has a melange of experiences to offer to the travellers.
