Visit the Ogyen Choling Foundation
Get an insight into historical Bhutanese life at a former residence of a ruling family that descended from a 14th-century Buddhist teacher. Converted into a private museum full of old artworks and artefacts, the foundation aims to keep this history alive.

Pema Lingpa, the famous saint, was born in the Tang Valley of Bumthang. Past the Dechenpelrithang sheep farm, you can find a path lined with prayer flags which leads you to a gorge where the river forms a pool and you can discover his image carved on the rock.
