bericht van Vanita Safaniuk

Sopsokha, also known as the Phallus Village of Bhutan, is a unique hamlet near Punakha where phalluses are painted on every house and restaurant as a symbol of fertility and to ward off evil spirits. Legend has it that a Tibetan saint subdued evil spirits using his phallus in the 15th century, giving rise to this quirky tradition. The village is a colorful and fascinating sight, with phalluses of all shapes, sizes, and colors adorning the buildings, making it one of the most unusual places you'll ever visit in your travels!
