Bumthang is home to some of the country's most ancient and precious Buddhist Sites. This expansive valley is dominated by the sparkling Jakar dzong/fortress. In Chamkhar valley, one comes across the old Wangdicholing Palace of the first and the second king of Bhutan.
Aside from devout Bhutanese pilgrims, the sacred shrines and the temples of Bumthang today attracts a considerable number of foreign visitors who come to experience the spiritual power of the region as well as to enjoy the region's various annual festivals.
