Bhutan Druk Yul Paro - Rimpung Dzong

The Dzong was built in the 16th century, and located at the top of a hill gave perfect view over the valley. But it burnt down, and they meant there were some evel, so it was not rebuilt. You can still see the burnt out wooden parts in the structure of the Dzong. From the top of the hill there is a very nice view, and specially towards the second larges mountain in Bhutan, Jomolhari 7440 m above sea level. The art of archery has long traditions in Bhutan, and we saw many ranges arouund. We were impressed that they were able to hit the small target, 150 m away in such strong wind that were here this day.

Nice view and decorated houses

Aiming in the wind	How did it go	Goal 150m away	Some got a hit too
Still an impressive building

Enjoy the view from the top of the hill
