About Drukgyel Dzong

Drukgyel Dzong, located in the upper Paro Valley of Bhutan, is a historic fortress built in 1649 by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to commemorate Bhutan’s victory over Tibetan invaders. Once a powerful symbol of defense and unity, the dzong was strategically positioned to control entry into the Paro Valley. Though largely destroyed by fire in 1951, its ruins remain a significant cultural and historical site. Restoration work began in recent years to preserve its legacy. Surrounded by scenic views and with the majestic Jomolhari mountain visible in the distance, Drukgyel Dzong stands as a proud reminder of Bhutan’s resilient past

Booked: Bhutan Expedition - Explore The Land of Thunder Dragon

Our trip was an amazing experience! The vehicle provided (both in India & Bhutan) was super comfortable and well-maintained. Immigration was smooth, thanks to our guide who handled everything so well. Hotel check-ins and meals were hassle-free, with staff being flexible and kind. Our guide made the journey even better by sharing insights about local culture and food. Viacation’s team checked in on us daily and was always available for support—truly commendable!
