Unlike other dzongs in the country, Tashichoe Dzong is not located high above the city but rather on the banks of a river. In addition to administrative and religious functions, it also accomodates the Bhutanese government and the offices of the king.
After my first Bhutanese meal, and after some first explorations of the capital city of Thimphu, we headed to the main building of the city: Tashichoe dzong. Dzongs are fortresses, often built centuries ago, originally used for a military function, but nowadays housing the regional administration as well as the regional religious authority. Each region in the country has a dzong, but the one in Thimphu is special: apart from the regional and religious function, it also includes the national government as well as offices of the king. Each dzong in Bhutan has a unique shape, the one in Thimphu is square.
