Thimphu to Punakha- Dochula Pass

After the paper factory and the archery it was finally time to drive over Dochula Pass. The Dochula Pass is a mountain pass in the snow covered Himalayas within Bhutan on the road from Thimpu to Punakha where 108 memorial chortens or stupas known as "Druk Wangyal Chortens" have been built by Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk, the eldest Queen Mother.

We got to an elevation of 3120m at which height we had a stunning view over the Bhutanese Himalayas and the valleys below.

After a walk around the 108 stupas we descended the windy, pass towards Punakha before stopping off for lunch... it was only 12.45pm!!Les mer
