Overlooking Thimphu is one of the largest Buddha’s in the world, the Buddha Dordenma statue. It is almost 170 feet tall (it sits on top of a giant meditation hall) and houses 125,000 other Buddhas inside it. All of them are made of bronze and then gilded in gold. This Buddha was erected to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the fourth king of Bhutan. You can see it from a distance when you’re exploring the capital, but definitely drive up the mountain and visit it up close. The details and views are spectacular.
