Four sacred valleys holding Bhutan's oldest temples, buckwheat fields and mountain honey.
Bumthang comprises four valleys in central Bhutan — Choekhor, Tang, Ura and Chumey — regarded as the country's spiritual heartland. It holds some of Bhutan's oldest temples, said to date to the 7th century, alongside buckwheat fields, apple orchards and small-scale cheese and honey production introduced by Swiss settlers in the 1960s.
