The world's only capital without traffic lights, where dzong architecture meets modern Bhutanese life.
Thimphu is Bhutan's capital and largest town, set in the Wang Chhu river valley. Traditional whitewashed dzong-style buildings house government offices and shops alike, and the hillside above the city is watched over by the giant gilded Buddha Dordenma statue. It remains a small, low-rise capital by design, reflecting Bhutan's deliberate, unhurried approach to development.
