My fourth day in Bhutan began as I made my way to the beautiful capital city of Bhutan! Come along with me as I have some delicious and spicy Bhutanese noodles for breakfast and visit the largest sitting Buddha statue in the world in Thimphu, Bhutan!
My day started in the city of Punakha. We had a two-hour drive to the west ahead of us to get to Thimphu and along the way, we’d grab some breakfast. Along the way, my guide from MyBhutan, Tsheten, told me that 100,000 people live in Thimphu. It’s the only world capital that doesn’t have traffic lights!
About 20 minutes outside of Punakha, we stopped at Drukdruel Lodging & Food for breakfast. We ordered some shakam dashti, which is dried beef with chilies in broth, and puta, which are buckwheat noodles with chilies. While I waited, I had some ngaja, (Bhutanese milk tea), which contains ginger and is very similar to Indian chai.
The puta was so tasty and contained oil, chili paste, chilies, and an egg. They were so tasty and oily! They weren’t too spicy at first, but then they got really hot! They made my lips tingle from the Szechwan peppers. This noodle dish was the most different thing I’d had so far in Bhutan, as it was more Eastern influences.
Then, I tried the shakam dashti, which is dried, tender beef that is cooked with chilies and onion and contains a nice, spicy broth. This was my favorite breakfast in Bhutan so far!
As we continued through more wilderness toward Punakha, it also got colder because we had climbed to about 8,100 feet above sea level. This forested area is home to Himalayan black bears, deer, wild boar, and leopards and tigers!
Then, we arrived in Thimphu. It was the first place I’d seen that was densely populated in Bhutan. It’s amazing that there are no traffic lights there! On the way to the largest sitting Buddha in the world, we passed lots of prayer flags along the road, which celebrate the third anniversary of the current king. They come in five colors: white, red, yellow, blue, and green.
The city was gorgeous, with the city in a valley between the mountains. At the top of Kunzangphodrang mountain is the Buddha Dordenma. It’s located in Kuenselphodrang Nature Park and is made of bronze but gilded in gold. It was built to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Bhutan’s fourth king, Jigme Singye Wangchuk. The massive statue was also built to fulfill two prophecies from the 8th and 12th century, which said that a giant Buddha statue would be built to bless the world with happiness and peace.
The Buddha Dordenma is 169 feet tall. It was mostly funded by a Singaporean businessman. Construction began in 2006 and finished in 2015. It’s located in a massive square that reminded me of squares in China. You have to climb down 186 steps, but they’re not complete yet.
To go inside, I had to take off my shoes, but I couldn’t film or take pictures. In addition to thousands of smaller Buddha statues, there are also images of the Bhutanese kings and the royal family.
Then, we headed into the city to get me a scarf. I was freezing! There are lots of shops in town. My hotel was in the center of town. But we stopped at Yeti Handicraft to get a traditional wool scarf for 950 Nu/$12.52 USD. They also had other souvenirs, including teacup covers, tea sets, and huge, expensive masks.
What an epic morning, starting with the Bhutanese noodle breakfast and the trip to the largest sitting Buddha in the world in Thimphu, Bhutan!
