Punakha, a town in Bhutan's Himalayas, is famous for the 17th-century Punakha Dzong, located at the confluence of the Pho and Mo Chhu rivers. The dzong hosts the Punakha Tshechu, a religious festival with vibrant masked dances and music. In the scenic Punakha Valley, notable temples include Chimi Lhakhang, known for its fertility blessings, and Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, perched on a hilltop with stunning views of the rivers and mountains.
