Zangdopelri Lhakhang, Kurjey

The four valleys of Bumthang are Bhutan's cultural heartland. Choekhor Valley (2600m) is the central one and home to some of the oldest and most important monasteries in the country. Zangdopelri is a new addition though, built with the support of the Queen mother Ashi Kesang Choden Wangchuck and only consecrated in September 2011.

Die vier Täler von Bumthang sind das kulturelle Kernland Bhutans. Das Choekhor-Tal (2600m) liegt im Zentrum und beherbergt einige der ältesten und wichtigsten Klöster das Landes. Zangdopelri ist allerdings eine Neugründung, die erst im September 2011 geweiht wurde.

Schönen Dank, Rapi! Vom Schwarzwald ist's nicht weit in die Schweiz- man nennt Bhutan auch die Schweiz Asiens. In Bumthang hat der Schweizer Fritz Maurer eine Käserei aufgebaut, also gibt's da jetzt Emmentaler und Gruyere sowie ein Hefeweißbier;-)
