Bumthang, often referred to as the spiritual heartland of Bhutan, is a region rich in legends, sacred sites, and breathtaking scenery. Comprising four beautiful valleys—Chokhor, Tang, Ura, and Chhume—Bumthang is dotted with ancient monasteries, temples, and dzongs that have shaped Bhutan’s religious history for centuries. Among its most revered landmarks are Jambay Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest temples, and Kurjey Lhakhang, closely associated with Guru Rinpoche. 

The region is also famous for hosting vibrant festivals, including the enchanting Jambay Lhakhang Drup, where traditional fire dances and sacred rituals create an unforgettable atmosphere. Beyond spirituality, Bumthang captivates visitors with its picturesque landscapes of rolling hills, apple orchards, and traditional villages. Known as the birthplace of Bhutan’s distinctive textiles, especially the renowned Bumthang wool and yathra, the valley offers a cultural immersion like no other. For those seeking history, spirituality, and natural beauty, Bumthang is an essential destination in Bhutan.
