The higher reaches of the Wangdue Phodrang valley provide rich pastureland for cattle. The lingering sound of the wind produced by the deep gorge of the river gives an ideal background for the beautiful, almost unnaturally created scenic beauty. It is at an altitude of 1800m and is 21 km from Punakha, the old capital of Bhutan.<br /> &nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.trekking-world.com/wangdue-phodrang">read more</a></p> 27.474834 89.896946 Wangdue Phodrang Sun, 02 Mar 2008 13:27:03 +0100 krishna 608 at http://www.trekking-world.com
