2. Kyichu Lhakhang Monastery



One of the oldest and most atmospheric monasteries in bhutan. A statue of Chenresig with a 1000 hands and 11 heads is quite amazing as is the inner hall with an original 7th cent buddha statue, cast at the same time as one in Lhasa. The entire complex has an energy heightened by the silence of the Paro valley surrounding it.
