Best of both worlds come together in Thimphu, the capital city, home to the royal family, the political and economic power center and the capital of Bhutan. An old world charm is manifest on streets where traffic signals are inconspicuous, on ornately embellished shingled rooftops, quaint horzhing windows and other architectural structures built with stone or wood,maybe but tethered by tradition, definitely. Inspired by the modern world, Thimphu offers the traveler an eclectic selection of hotels, restaurants and cafes to dine at, ATM facilities, internet cafes, shops, bars and a few nightclubs too.
