Search hotels in Thimphu

It's a well organized city in the mountains. I suggest that visitors book a hotel in the center of the city. Walking around to the tourist spots is lovely! The people are really kind and helpful. Eat at small restaurants along the street. The waitresses will be happy to help you order local food. It's fairly easy to get around. For solo travelers I suggest walking around, interacting with the locals and keeping some spare cash to indulge in small food shops and restaurants along the way. Cafe ambience has a good reputation. It's a good place to hangout for solo travelers

The cleanliness in the city, in fact, entire Bhutan is outstanding. The vehicle traffic very disciplined. People very courteous and helping. The nature amazing. The Buddha Point is the best spot of the city. The food is excellent. It's easy to get around the city in taxi but fares are little high.

The great feeling of driving on the roads of Thimpu is that of traffic discipline and excellent parking facilities all along the City. During the entire rounds of the city , i had never come across one vehicle honking. That's something i wish to talk about and found it out of this world experience. All along Bhutan , i found zebra crossings for pedestrians and these crossings are respected by one and all. Excellent footpaths on both sides of the roads without any hindrances for a clean walk. The immigration process and permit was much faster than that of Pheutsholing and are very co-operative in information. Great architecture monuments and builldings greet us all along the city. I only wish the Airport was a bit nearer to the city , anyways the route to Paro airport is simply superb.

Big Buddha point is the best. I also love simply Bhutan. I was also visited national memorial chorten, simtoka dzong, tashichho dzong view point, national textile museum. I love clock tower thimphu city. It's the way to time pass in evening and early night.

Thimphu is a nice town. Too much construction is happening and hence too much of dust on the road. The market is good. Food is good. Nice town to walk around. Many important tourist places are within a radius of 1 km and can be easily reachable on foot.
