Personal highlights

  1. Dochula Pass: connecting Bhutaninfo-icon's old (Punakha) and new (Thimphu) capitals
  2. Bhutanese Himalayas: amazing view on clear weather only (October to February)
  3. Gangkar Puensum: view on Bhutan's highest mountain peak on over 7,000 meters
  4. Druk Wangyel Chortens: memorial and restaurant on the pass, perfect for a pit-stop
  5. Dangerous drive: during and after the raining season, the pass is covered in thick fog
