The Dochula Pass Chortens

Between Thimpu and Punakha, Bhutan

The 108 Druk Wangyel Chortens located at Dochula Pass (10,360').

A chorten is a small structure containing religious relics built to
commemorate a historical event or to ward off evil. Chortens are
found in common places such as a mountain pass or a farmer's field
and usually only one chorten is found at a site. This large
Chorten site is very unique.
