The capital city of Bhutan, Thimphu, is a great mix of city life and culture. During the day, you can visit the Bhutan Postal Museum to create your own stamps, explore the impressive Thimphu Dzong, and witness policemen manually directing traffic since there are no traffic lights in the entire country.
As the sun sets behind the mountains, you can experience the city's nightlife at popular bars and clubs like Mojo Park and the Grey Area, where you can enjoy live music and join locals in shouting "tashi delek!" (a Tibetan expression for good luck and health) while sipping on Bhutanese ara, a spirit distilled from rice.
