Kunzang Choden, one of Bhutan’s most well-known authors, brings us on a tour of her ancestral home in Bhumtang’s Tang Valley, which was turned into museum. This space offers a first-hand view of daily life for Bhutanese religious nobility during the 19th and 20th centuries. We then go to the main temple and see some of the chapels held in this two-story space dedicated to different deities.
