Paro Revisited - Page 1

On the way to the Paro Rimpong Dzong

The Rimpong Dzong dates back to the 17th Century

One of the most distinct and important structures in Bhutan  

Mongolian paintings were used to defend the Dzong from Mongolian invaders

The theory was the Mongolians would think the Dzong

was their structure and hence not invade 

Another Mongolian painting

This Dzong is a showcase of early Bhutanese design

Classic Bhutanese window architecture
