Postcard From Bhutan: Wangdue Phodrang Dzong

I read that this beautiful and very old Dzong, perched on a ridge overlooking two rivers, was gutted by fire yesterday. 🙁 I remember passing by the Dzong either on our way to Punakha or back from Punakha.  We didn’t visit the Dzong, but stopped by the roadside to admire the architecture of the old fortress-cum-monastery on way to/back from Punakha.
