Suspension bridge made from wood and chain across Paro river near Tachog Lhakhang Dzong, Paro
A drive from Paro to Thimphu in Bhutan with the bridge near Tachog Lakhang Dzong.
The Word Dzong loosely translated means a fortress. For over three hundred years they have been built on strategic points mostly on mountain spurs to serve as an effective defence against an attack or invasion. Dzongs were first built in Bhutan in 12th century by Lam Gyalwa Lhanangpa, an important leader of Lhapa Kagyud. The Dzongs built before Shabdrung were used as monasteries. It was only from the time of Shabdrung in 17th century that the Dzongs were built in such a way that they played a signaficant role in the history of Bhutan. They not only served as an effective defence but also became the centres of religious and cultural activities.
