| The Punakha Dzong is a six-storied structure with a central tower (or Utse) at an average elevation of 1,200 meters (3,900 ft) with a scenic, mountainous background. The materials used in building the Dzong consisted of compacted earth, stones and timber in doors and windows. The Dzong was completed as an “embodiment of Buddhist values” in 1638. |
