Khamsum Yulley Namgyel Chorten is an impressive example of our fine Bhutanese architecture and art. The third Queen, Ashi Tshering Yangdon Wangchuck built it. It took almost eight and half years to complete it. It was built to help to remove negative forces and promote peace, stability and harmony in this changing world and the wellbeing and long life of our beloved monarch. The chorten is located at a hilltop surrounded by beautiful rice fields near the Mo Chhu, river. The hike to the temple is rewarded with scenic beauty and spiritual bliss.
We can reached to the Chorten by walking through the paddy fields and trekking uphill through the forest. It will take about 45mins uphill and about 45mins on your return. On your way back we can walk through the villages and our car and driver will wait for us at the bridge of Amankora, Punakha. The Chorten dominates the upper Punakha Valley with commanding views across the Mo Chhu and up towards the mountainous peaks of Gasa and beyond.
Welcome every one and those who visit Punakha Valley,please try and visit this Chorten. You will be thrilled with the views and your photo collection will increase. Experience the serenity of this country-Bhutan.
