Its a place where you will forget all the pains and suffering of 2 hours hike from base. Its a holy sites too where you get enough space to gain spiritual merits as there are lots of temples where you can wash your sins which you have committed earlier. All the best and if you are looking for 1 day hike or planning to do the camping this is perfect place i recommends all.! ENJOY.!!!

Great place for hiking and going for spiritual trip

The reward for hiking uphill for about 3 hours from Motithang Takin Preserve is the best view of Thimphu town. When weather is fine, you can also see blanket of fluffy clouds above Thimphu.

Worth to spend a night there and wake up early in the morning to have an amazing sunrise view above the cloud

People are so friendly there. They offered me tea, which felt heavenly after the hike. Panaromic views from the monastery are great too.

View of Thimphu city from Phajoding

Its beautiful, its serene....one of the least trekked places in Thimphu and perfect for camping for a night or two. The monasteries around add a spiritual touch to Phajoding. Loved the place and will trek once again.

Must visited place if you are staying in Thimphu for more then 2 days . It is a kind of trekking place also. It takes more then 04 hours to reach at this place from Thimphu telecommunication tower. But after reaching at this place it feels like mehnat vasool. You can stay here with monks & know about their living culture & all. Best time to visit this place in November or December, cause these months are less visited month so u feel here very close to monks lives .for me it is a lifetime memorable experience. I wish i can visit this place every year .

The most beautiful tracking call drukpa tricking for three days from paro to Thimphu or Thimphu to paro it’s above 4000 above sea level from that place you can see the whole valley of Thimphu the capital of BhutanMarch, April and May are best month to go for tracking

What a wonderful place, I visited there with my friend and it took around an hour to reach the monastery. It was very very beautiful and the view from there was wonderful. I strongly recommend the people who like trekking, can surely visit this place, its not very far from Thimphu. There people are so good they treat you very well. I strongly recommend this place.

Its a heavenly feeling. Monastic school. Great hospital. Short hikes around. Great view towards beautiful Thimphu valley

Best place to hike if you have some time in Thimphu

Amazing trails. Perfect for adventure

Absolutely breathtaking views - do the extra hike to the mountain peak stupa and youre in for a treat

Enroute to Dungtsho, reached Phajoding at 8:14 AM

Great place for spiritual wellbeing

Phajoding monastery is considered be one of the most sacred meditation site and the name of the monastery trace back to 13th century where phajodrugom zhipo meditate there. Today most visiters go there for hike.

Peaceful and serene place with majestic views of Thimphu valley

So scenic view from this monastery. You can pray here & relax here.

Panaromic view of the Thimpu valley can be seen from here. If you are planning to stay here at night carry your own sleeping bags. Its on the druk path so one can hike till Paro from Thimpu.

Phajuding is a Buddhist Monastery which takes 3 - 3.5 hours to hike from the nearest route. There are many temples inside the monastery which carry great religious significance. Hiking another 45 minutes from Phajuding lies the Thujedrak Monastery. If one wishes to visit the 7 sacred lakes, the trekking route starts from the Thujedrak Monastery. Thujedrak Monastery also has a small guest house for lake hikers and visitors. Phajuding and the seven lakes are amazing places to visit! They also offer views of various snow capped mountains of Bhutan.

You wont regret for having tried to hike for 3 hours uphill. Splendid views and if you walk little further beyond monastery ong Druk Path Trails, you will feel like continuing your hike for more hours. Pictures included from Thuje Drak monastery and Druk Path Trail.
