Day 4-5: Punakha to Bhumthang

Bumthang Valley is the heartland of Buddhism in Bhutan. It is believed that in 746 AD, Guru Rinpoche arrived here to exorcize a demon from the king. To restore peace, he then, converted the people to Buddhism. During his stay in the valley, he built more than 40 temples and all of them are a part of Bhutan tourist attraction.
