Most itineraries to Bhutan start or end in the capital of Thimphu. With only a few days in the city, many tourists follow a cookie-cutter itinerary that covers the most famous attractions such as the giant Buddha Dordenma statue, the Royal Takin Preserve and the Thimphu Traffic Circle, where police direct vehicles in lieu of traffic lights (Thimphu is the only capital city in the world without traffic lights).
