Bumthang

2,600–4,000 mCentral Bhutan

The spiritual heartland — a cluster of four broad valleys holding Bhutan's oldest temples and holiest legends.

Bumthang is where Bhutanese history begins: Jambay Lhakhang from the 7th century, Kurjey Lhakhang with its rock imprint of Guru Rinpoche, and the monasteries of the saint-revealer Pema Lingpa.

Beyond the temples lie apple orchards, yarn-dyed wool weaving, honey villages and the Tang Valley's Burning Lake — a landscape of gentle walks between sacred sites.
