Punakha Dzong, also known as Pungthang Dewachenpoi Phodrang, is a significant monastery in Bhutan, famed for its stunning architecture and historical importance as the winter residence of the central monastic body. While some areas may present accessibility challenges due to stairs and uneven terrain, the main courtyard is generally accessible. Visiting solo allows for personal exploration, but a guided tour enhances understanding of its history and religious significance. Note that the Dzong may have seasonal restrictions due to religious ceremonies or royal events. The cost to enter is approximately 500 Bhutanese Ngultrum for foreigners, and a typical visit lasts 2-3 hours. Dress respectfully (shoulders and knees covered) when visiting.
