#TravelingInBhutan
Ringpung Dzong (Paro Dzong) and Ta Dzong (National Museum)
Rinpung Dzong (also known as Paro Dzong) was builit in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the then ruler of Bhutan. The approach to the Dzong is through a traditional covered bridge called Nemi Zam. The dzong is a massive fortress. The Dzong houses the monastic bodies and many important offices of Paro, like that of the judge. However, the dzong is open to the visitors and allowed for photography. The design and architecture is wonderful. There is a beautiful Lhakhang inside the dzong. Some films like Little Buddha were filmed in and around this dzong.
Ta Dzong (or Bhutan National Museum) is located above Ringpung Dzong. You may go by road or climb through a short cut route through the mountain. The entry fee for Ta dsong is 10 nu for locals, 50 nu for SAARC and 200 nu for outside tourists. Photography not allowed inside museum. As the dzong is located at great height, the whole paro town is clearly visible from here. The views of himalayan mountains and the river paro chu are magnificent from here.

I found this place as a paradise.
Tashichho Dzong | Thimphu | Bhutan
Tashichho Dzong is the largest dzong (temples) in Bhutan and one of the most recommended places to visit in Thimphu.
Remains of Drukgyal Dzong :Bhutan
Drukgyal meaning “the fortress of the victorious Drukpas” is located in Phondey village in Paro.
History has it that Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel built the dzong to commemorate his victory over the Tibetan-Mongol forces in 1649. However, some people say it might have been built by Tenzin Drukdra, the second Desi at the behest of Zhabdrung.
The dzong used to house one of the biggest granaries among all the dzongs in the country. Some of the original relics rescued from the fire that occurred in 1951 are an image of Chenrizig, the god of compassion; an image of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal; 108 volumes of kanjur (translated words of Lord Buddha) and 12 volumes of Bum (Hundred thousand verses of Prajnaparamitra) and Dolma (Tara).
