About Tashichho Dzong in the Thimphu Valley

Tashichho Dzong, the "Fortress of the Glorious Religion", stands on the bank of the Wang Chhu river at the northern edge of Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan. It houses the throne room and offices of the King, the government ministries and, in summer, the country's central monk body. The present building was largely rebuilt in the 1960s by the Third King, in the traditional way, without nails or written plans. In this view, its white walls and red roofs lie in the green valley below forested mountains.

Puzzle tip: the white dzong is easy to find in the green valley; the mountains and clouds take more time.
