Punakha Suspension Bridge
Overview
The 160-meter Punakha Suspension Bridge is one of Bhutan’s oldest landmarks. Draped in fluttering prayer flags, this engineering marvel offers Ziibba Travel guests a tactile connection between the Punakha Dzong and the eastern valley’s vibrant rural villages.
Story & Significance
A local lifeline, this historic bridge served Punakha long before modern roads. Constructed with thick iron chains anchored in rock, it reflects the resilience of the Bhutanese spirit.
