Punakha was the capital of Bhutan and the seat of government until 1955, when the capital was moved to Thimphu. It is about 72 km away from Thimphu and unlike Thimphu its winter is mild and summer hot. The iconic Punakha Dzong straddles two rivers like a white giant, an impressive sight not to be missed.

Each scarf takes at least a few days to hand weave, starting from yarn spinning to tassel rolling. By purchasing one, you are also helping to empower Bhutanese artisan women to use their creative talents to become financially independent.
