On our way back into the city we stopped briefly at Thangthong Dewachen Nunnery.


The offerings included bowls of water, milk and a large, symbolic cake (centre).


Looking down the valley from Tashichhodzong View Point and into Thimphu with terraced rice paddies in the foreground and the impressive looking Tashichho Dzong, a Buddhist monastery and fortress, in the distance to the right.


At our next stop, the Jungshi Paper Factory. Jungshi means 'natural'.


The factory uses traditional methods to produce the Bhutanese paper known as Deh-sho from the bark of the Daphne bush and Dhekap tree.
