Simtokha Dzong played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic attraction, you can only imagine some of the scenes its fortified walls have witnessed.

You'll soon see why this Thimphu history-filled fortress is visited by many travelers. If you're searching for other things to keep you busy, Telecom Tower, Clock Tower Square, and Buddha Dordenma are in the area too. They won't take you long to get to from Simtokha Dzong.
