An interesting place to see the town and to meet the locals
This is the main and largest town square in Thimphu. We stayed in a hotel that is only 15 minutes away from this square, so every evening we had the opportunity to go here by ourselves. All buildings in Bhutan have elements of the traditional architecture, which is rarely seen anywhere in the world. Around this square there are many shops, where you can buy the traditional and Buddhist souvenirs. We also went to one pub on the square, where we tasted Bhutanese brandy called "ara". The contact with the locals was impressive - everyone is very kind, helpful, smiling and they all spoke English quite well.
