It's
a
must
visit
place
in
Punakha,
it's
better
to
visit
during
4.30-5pm
so
that
the
bridge
is
almost
empty.
Punakha
suspension
bridge
which
is
the
second
longest
suspension
bridge
in
Bhutan
and
connects
the
old
administrative
centre
of
Punakha
Dzongkhag
to
the
rest
of
the
valley.
One
of
the
oldest
suspension
bridges
in
the
world,
Punakha
Suspension
Bridge
in
Bhutan
was
believed
to
be
built
by
the
Buddhist
Monk,
Thangtong
Gyalpo.
Over
the
years
it
has
undergone
its
share
of
refurbishment
but
it
was
once
one
of
the
eight
bridges
that
served
as
the
precursor
to
many
of
our
modern
suspension
bridges.
Punakha
suspension
brudge
length
is
160
metres!
Gyalpo
chain
bridges
did
not
include
the
suspended
wooden
deck
and
this
makes
walking
across
the
bridge
quite
a
thrilling
experience.
