Punakha Dzong, also known as Pungthang Dewa chhenbi Phodrang, is a stunning administrative center in Bhutan. Built in the 17th century by Ngawang Namgyal, it's one of the oldest and largest dzongs in the country. Nestled between two rivers, this majestic structure houses sacred relics and is a significant cultural site. Once the capital of Bhutan, it now serves as a winter residence for the clergy. With its beautiful architecture and rich history, Punakha Dzong is a must-visit destination for those exploring the beauty of Bhutan.
