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.

8.8/10 Excellent! (7,004 reviews)
The room was very nice, large and clean...and surprisingly quiet. I have to say that was the best part. Too many casinos have thin walls. The Virgin Resort was quiet and had a good vibe. There were plenty of places to eat so we didn't have to leave if we didn't want to. The pool was heated and the bar next to it poured perfect cocktails. All in all a great 3 days weekend with my (adult) kids!
