    Peaceful and a new experience

    It was such a nice experience. You can get an authentic experience walking into the dzong. Once you go inside the more sacred space, cameras are not allowed, but you are able to hear and see the monks...

    Calm and old Dzong

    When we visited some of the monks were sat outside and were having an English exam. We waited a while and went inside. I understand it's the oldest fortress in Bhutan.

    Simtokha Dzong

    Simtokha Dzong is the first fortress built in Bhutan. It was built in the 17th century and saw some action unlike other dzongs of the land. No photography allowed inside.

    Simtokha Dzong

    One of the oldest Dzongs in Bhutan and of particular significance because of its association with Shabdrung the man who unified Bhutan. It is small and very personal.
