Located on the hill above Punakha valley, KhamsumYulley Namgyal Chorten is a classic example of gorgeous traditions and architecture of Asian country. Chorten (temple) crafted beautifully in traditional Bhutanese style. Its exterior is in the form of a pagoda like stupa while the interior consists of four stories containing images of the deities of mandalas of Vajarakilaya.

We have to walk through paddy field and then climb the hill. It took about 45 minutes to climb.

Very beautifully constructed temple. Completely Bhutanese architecture. Lovely view of Punakha from the top of the temple.

he view at the top of the temple is a 360 degree view of the whole valley, it is worth the hike.

It seemed like a perfect day hiking the mountains of Punakha.
