At the heart of central Bhutan, the Bumthang region is home to the country's oldest Buddhist sites. The region comprises four valleys, the most famous being Choskhor valley, often simply called Bumthang valley. At its entrance, Jakar will surprise you with its enormous dzong, dating from the 16th century. Don't miss the Swiss Farm, ideal for stocking up on good produce, enjoying a cheese fondue and sampling a Bhutanese beer.
A little further north, discover Jambay Lhakhang temple, built in the 7th century; it hosts one of Bhutan's most iconic festivals, usually held in October. During this festival, monks perform wild dances in the nude. Take the opportunity to visit Kurjey temple as well.
For a break in nature, discover the exceptional Ura valley, further south.
