One of the finest examples of Bhutanese Architecture, the Khamsum Yulley Namgyel Chorten, sits on a ridge above Punakha valley. It was built in strict accordance with traditional teachings. It took Bhutanese carpenters, painters and sculptors nine years to build the stupa.
From the town it’s about an hour’s hike along a trail that crosses the suspension bridge and then goes up the hill to the Chorten.
