This is the absolute highlight of Bhutan. Start very early, also to avoid the crowds. On a typical day, almost 1,000 people are on the trail. Allow plenty of time to explore the monastery and soak it all in. Mobile phones and cameras/video equipment are not permitted inside the monastery and must be left outside. Security personnel check this at the entrance.

The Buddha Dordenma statue, a technical masterpiece, was crafted in sections and assembled on-site in Thimphu. Made of bronze and gilded with gold, the statue was erected with the help of skilled artisans. The entire project was outsourced to China, where the individual parts of the statue were manufactured and then shipped to Bhutan for assembly. Standing at an enormous 54 meters tall, the statue is one of the largest seated Buddha statues in the world. It houses 125,000 smaller Buddha statues, each meticulously crafted from bronze and gilded with gold. The statue's base contains a meditation hall, further enhancing its spiritual significance.
