Crossing Punakha Suspension Bridge | Bhutan

#bhudda #bhutan #bhutantourism #travel
Punakha Suspension Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Bhutan measuring 180 m in length meters and is about 1.2 meters wide. From the bridge, you can get a spectacular view of the Po Chhu river (male river) and the valley.
This ancient suspension bridge dates back all the way to 1637 when Punakha was in its glory as the capital city of Bhutan. The bridge is believed to be built by the great architect and iron bridge builder Thangtong Gyalpo. The suspension bridge has undergone several years of renovation and was originally built to connect Punakha Dzong to the small villages of Shengana, Samdingkha and Sangkha, on the other end of Pho Chhu river
