Need to hike a lot to reach the top from the gate . on busy day getting parking near the gate is bit problematic. In that case you have to walk . This is free for all .

Bhutan is a special place in my travel list. Beautiful and serene landscapes and humble people. Buddha statue view points can be seen from many places.

Surrounding the main statue at the Buddha point. Are these various statues in various sizes. The entire place look magnificent surrounded by the mountain and the blue sky. Sometimes you see cloud coverings the statue and it is a picture worth capturing when you are driving by. By the way, do you know that in bhutan, every Thursday is a traffic free day lowering the reliance on cars and less pollution. I think it's a fantastic move.
