Tashichho Dzong

Experience Bhutan's architectural grandeur at Tashichho Dzong, the stunning fortress monastery serving as Bhutan's government headquarters and summer residence for the Central Monastic Body. This magnificent white-walled structure with golden roofs houses the throne room and government offices while maintaining active temple spaces. The dzong's beautifully landscaped grounds and traditional architecture exemplify Bhutanese dzong architecture at its finest. Visitors can witness the changing of the guard ceremony and explore the courtyard during non-government hours, particularly breathtaking when illuminated at night against the Thimphu valley backdrop.
