View of Tachog Lhakhang Dzong (fortified monastery) at the foot of the Phurdo mountains, Bhutan - Feb 2017
Also known as Tachogang Lhakhang ("Temple of the Hill of Excellent Horse", this is one of the oldest Dzongs in Bhutan. Built by Tibetan Buddhist saint, Thangtong Gyalpo (1385-1464) in 1420, the relatively small temple is located opposite the road from Paro about 5km before Chudzom and is still maintained by his descendants.
