Attractions in BHUTAN...Part-2 : Buddha Dordenma Statue

This giant Buddha statue is located on the Thimphu valley. It is one of the largest Buddha statues in the world and is currently one of the main tourist attractions in Bhutan. It is made up of bronze and gilded in gold.

We can get inside the statue but currently only one floor of the throne is opened for public entry because construction works are still going on and yet to be completed. Inside the statue ,there are thousands of other smaller Buddha statues.

This site is also a good viewpoint for panoramic view of Thimphu city and its surrounding mountains. Get blessed while you enjoy the scene.

Time of travel: July 2018.

Wow, what an impressive statue of Buddha!

Thank you so much for sharing your discoveries and adventures with us, @KinWanGoGo . I’ve always been fascinated by the scale of Buddhist temples and monuments. They are truly humbling, but at the same time, give you a sense of inner quietness and protection. :slight_smile:

Can you see the statue from the valley?
