Western Bhutan - Phuentsholing Attractions and Sightseeing

Altitude 985 feet

Phentsholing gate - Bhutan tours

Situated directly at the base of the Himalayan foothills, Phuentsholing is the western gateway to the south and thriving commercial trade centre on the northern edge of the Indian plains.

Phuentsholing is a convenient entry/exit point for Bhutan via road and also the important link for a trip to the Indian states of West Bengal, Sikkim and Assam. It is worth visiting Zangto Pelri, a small temple representing Guru Rinpoche’s abode located in the middle of town and Kharbandi Gonpa, a temple built on the hillock at an altitude of 1300 feet, by Royal Grand Mother Ashi Phuentsho Choden in 1967. Both the temples contain various Buddhist statues and beautiful paintings of Buddha’s life.
