Dongkola Lhakhang in Paro
Hiking is always an exciting activity that can be partaken by any adventurist, which means, even if you are holidaying with family. That been said, one exuberant destination called Paro in Bhutan, has various landmarks that serve as best places to hike. Amongst the many, Dongkola Lhakhang takes the lead. What people go to see here is the ancient temple of Dongkola where the statue of Buddha Sakyamuni is placed. A hike to about 3,370 meters may be challenging (if you are an old timer) but if you have children with some passion for trekking, well, you will get there.
This Lhakhang (temple) is located on a hilltop between Paro and Thimphu and the closest village to start ascending is Shaba in Paro. The beauty you will witness are of several stupas and charming villages, surrounded with coniferous forest that are emerald green. And once here at Dongkola Lhakhang, the sight you get to witness are the breathtaking valley of Paro with snow-clad Himalayan range. Also, the two historical places you can layover to admire are the temples of Phudu Goenpa and Mendhu temple.
