Khuruthang Saturday Market (Punakha)
A small Saturday market in Khuruthang, beside Punakha Dzong, where locals trade fresh produce.
On Saturdays the town of Khuruthang, next to Punakha Dzong, holds a lively local market where people trade and barter fresh produce including fruit, vegetables, beans and chillies. It is an intimate look at everyday Bhutanese life and pairs easily with a visit to the dzong; allow one to two hours.
