Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Incredible , Impressive ,Majestic fortress exists at the confluence of 2 rivers Po chhu ( Male River) and Mo Chhu( female river) in Punakha Valley. The sheer size , architecture and the rivers flowing around it is a sight to behold and etches itself in our memory . This not to be missed Dzong has deep religious, cultural and historical significance to Bhutan. This was the seat of the rulers till the mid 1950’s till the capital got moved to Thimphu. This also serves as the winter residence of their religious leader till date.
To reach the Dzong one must cross a beautiful wooden bridge. As you cross this bridge try to catch a glimpse of golden trout swimming in the waters below. A very steep flight of narrow stairs leads us to the inside of the majestic fortress. There are 3 huge courtyards each with a distinct character and a tower building which is six storey tall. One of the courtyards has a huge Bodhi tree and a Stupa. Standing under it with the cool breeze blowing silently makes one sync in with the history of this place. This dzong also serves as a residence to monks and we saw them practice some soothing chants and dance movements.
At one end of the dzong is a famed assembly hall consisting of almost 100 pillars, these are made with rammed earth, timber and stones. Apparently, no nail has been used. Another part of this amazing architecture is a chorten, cremation ground and a magnificent palace. Walking through this marvel helps one connect to the rich history of this beautiful country and hope the tides of our Modern world never reach here.
Word of Caution. The restroom facilities are not the best and also take the services of a guide to understand the history of the place.

Punakha Valley is home to one of Bhutan’s most stunning landmarks, the Punakha Dzong, an architectural masterpiece nestled between the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers. As a travel agent, I highly recommend a visit here—its intricate design, historic significance, and breathtaking setting are simply unforgettable. The Dzong served as Bhutan’s ancient capital and still holds immense cultural and spiritual importance. Visitors are captivated by its serene beauty, making it a must-see on any Bhutan adventure.

The Punakha Dzong, also known as Pungthang Dewa chhenbi Phodrang (meaning "the palace of great happiness or bliss"), is the administrative centre of Punakha District in Punakha, Bhutan. Constructed by Ngawang Namgyal, 1st Zhabdrung Rinpoche, in 1637–38, it is the second oldest and second-largest dzong in Bhutan and one of its most majestic structures. We visited this majestic location during our visit to Bhutan

The entry bridge to the majestic Dzong is something of a marvel. A wooden bridge with a centre support from both ends and school of golden fish right beneath and purple flowers in the background is nothing short of a colorful treat.

We simply could not take our eyes off this building. The incredibly impressive architecture of this complex will amaze everyone.
This is a fortified monastery, and the Bhutanese call it Punakha Dzong. The word Dzong in their language means a fortress.
Punakha Dzong is located next to two rivers, which gives this place an additional beauty. We reached Punakha Dzong via a fascinating wooden covered bridge typical of Bhutan. This complex is the winter residence of the Bhutanese religious leader, while Punakha used to be the summer capital of Bhutan.
We walked through the main courtyard and reached the main temple area. Every temple in Bhutan is impressive, including this one.
In front of this temple, we took a picture in Bhutanese national costume. We could not have chosen a better place for such a thing.
After visiting Punakha Dzong, we went to the suspension bridge.

Punakha Dzong - it's amazing! The big walls, the pretty wood, and the sound of monks chanting prayers – old feel, like the stones and the wood have been here forever. Gets me thinking 🤔 about all the ancient Bhutanese people who have been here hundreds of years ago. Being here makes me feel like I'm a part of something really special, like I'm connected to the past in a big way.

One of the best places we visited in Bhutan. If you are not too much into touristy stuff and would still like to visit one place in punakha- strongly recommend this one. The Buddha idol is mesmerising!!

"Punakha Dzong, also known as Pungthang Dewachen Phodrang (meaning 'The Palace of Great Happiness'), is one of the most significant and majestic dzongs (fortresses) in Bhutan. It holds immense historical, cultural, and religious importance in the country. I fully recommend visiting it; it's worth experiencing firsthand."

Impressive large Dzong built between two rivers. Originally built in the 17th century it has suffered six fires, two floods and two earthquakes - it's been restored after each.
It has an iconic wooden bridge across the river to it.

Hi,
How is the current weather in Thimphu/ Paro / Punakha? Any heavy rains? Should visitors get raincoats/ umbrellas etc while visiting in 5th Sept to 16th Sept 2019 from India?

River rafting in Paro / Thimphu / Phunakha in Sept 2019 - any idea?
Skrevet 29. august 2019
You can do rafting in Punakha. It will cost you 7000/8000 for a raft. A raft will take in 6 people. Punakha will be the only place where you can do rafting.

HI... About Punakha Dzong - What is the attire / clothes to be worn / allowed by monks to enter & visit the Punakha Dzong monastry?
For ladies in saris? Allowed? For men - shorts allowed?
We are a group of 15 Gujarati Veg from Mumbai visiting Bhutan in mid-Sept.
Any good places to have Indian snacks in between Thimphu, Punakha & Paro?
Skrevet 26. juli 2019
You are allowed to wear any decent dress you want. No restrictions. You can even wear their (Bhutanese) traditional dress. People love that.
About getting veg food you don't have to worry. Many restaurants will provide you Indian veg food.
Just adjacent to the Dzong no proper restaurants are available but street vendors will be there. You can have snack there or can buy chips and biscuits there. For proper food you have to visit the market restaurants.
Best wishes.

Skrevet 26. juli 2019
Hi,
Sarees are allowed but shorts are not allowed. A lot of skin show is not appreciated in Bhutan. Cover shoulders and legs. They are very strict about it.
Where to eat:
If you are looking for good Indian food, head to the restaurants mentioned below. They are tried and tested :-)
Paro - City Hotel
Punakha -Rinchenling Cafeteria
Thimpu - Chula Restaurant
Have a wonderful trip!

Em um blog, li que fica proximo a Thimpu, mas aqui diz q fica proximo a Punakha. Se eu ficar 3 dias no Butao e priorizar Paro e Thimpu, consigo visitar esse templo?
Skrevet 9. november 2018
Sorry for the delay, I was offline (travelling!-) Paro-Thimpu-Punakha lie west to east, in that order. Paro has the International airport, so am assuming you arrive there. Paro to Thimpu is approx 50Kms and 90mins by road. Thimpu to Punakha is approx 85km and 150mins/2.5 hrs by road. For 3 days in Bhutan, I would recommend the following plan. Day 1. Arrive into Paro, stay the night in Paro. Day 2. (Start early) Travel direct to Punakha - bypassing Thimpu (road trip approx 3.5 hrs), sightsee and return to Thimpu evening, stay the night. Day 3 Sightsee Thimpu, evening return to Paro. Hope this is useful. Happy trails!

We are going there this November for a photography trip.
#1 Do they allow to do night photography from outside the Dzong? We are interested in doing some startrails and moon pictures.
#2 Is there any cheap accommodation nearby to stay for a few hours or more after our shoot?
Skrevet 9. september 2018
No, they don't allow photography in Dzong. But yes, there is many resorts to stay.

Hi! We are a group of not so physically fit senior citizens and are planning to visit Bhutan in Sept. 2017.
Is it very difficult to reach the Dzong in Punakha? Can we approach it by car/ minibus? We were told that we will have to walk through rice fields and climb steep stairs.
Looking for advice.
Thank you
Skrevet 1. juni 2017
Yes you can reach by car or mini bus the steps are only at the Dzong but they are manageable it's a lovely place worth a visit
carry your medicine water bottles and camera as it's a scenic place to visit
Regards n all b best enjoy your holidays
