    It was real fun to enjoy the Preety old Punakha Suspension Bridge even though this has been restored and modified by the government to make it more sturdy and strong... You should definitely visit this Bridge and also enjoy Tea or some snacks or even Beer at the restaurants on tge other end of the Bridge... Two rivers are meeting here Da Chu and Fu Chu, hence it becomes fierce over this place... It is also very close to the River Rafting joints...

    Punakha suspension bridge is undoubtedly a standing master piece surrounded by beautiful nature.You will find a village cafe across the bridge.It is one of the longest suspension bridges in Bhutan.This is around 520 ft long. This bridge keeps moving with the air flow which,will give you a shaky shaky feeling.Its a walking distance from Punakha Dzong. This bridge provides spectacular view of the river and valley.

    We reached the bridge from the Punakha Dzong side. It has a capacity of 500 pedestrians. When we reached in the middle of the bridge it swing a bit which is little uncomfortable. The scenic beauty is breath taking. On the other side there is a cafe also, one can chill out .

    This suspension bridge is very sturdy. Itโ€™s walking distance from Punakha Dzong. Itโ€™s more than 500 foot long. One side of the bridge hangs colourful flags. There are eateries on the other side. The bridge will definitely shake when people are walking on it. The river current is strong but peaceful

    Its a picturesque bridge over the river Po Chhu. The clean water down makes it even magnificent. Some says its the longest suspension bridge in Bhutan. From the bridge, you can get a spectacular view of the Po Chhu river (male river) and the valley.

    The Suspension Bridge at Punakha is a must-see destination for photographers. The bridge is quite long and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area. Visitors will find it to be a serene and peaceful spot, while also providing an exhilarating experience. It is a popular photography spot, and it's definitely worth taking the time to take some photos here.

    One of the oldest and longest suspension bridge in Bhutan. It's around 200 meters in length over phochu river. It's take 5 mins walk from cremation parking and 2 mins walk if you take your car through rough road. One of the iconic place in Punakha district.

    Back at the Punakha Suspension Bridge and I couldn't be happier! The breathtaking views and cool breeze make me feel alive. This place has a magical aura that leaves me feeling blessed with every step I take. I can't help but hope that everyone who has the chance to visit here will experience the same bliss I feel right now. May this bridge be a symbol of strength and longevity for us all. Cheers to another visit filled gratitude!

    Punakha Dzong Suspension Bridge is an important part of the architectural history of Bhutan as it was built to connect the villages of Shengana, Samdingkha and Wangkha to the Palace of the Wangchuk Kings. The bridge was built as the Dzong lies in the confluence of the rivers Po Chu and Mo Chu rivers and is vulnerable to the flash floods caused by the glacier lakes. This hanging bridge in Bhutan is draped with prayer flags all along and provides a perfect spot for bird watching and nature photography not to mention the panic attacks it gives to a few visitors as it sways a bit due to the strong winds from the flowing river beneath.

    Breathtaking view! The view of suspension bridge over the gushing River with the mountains surrounding is just amazing๐Ÿ˜ Longest bridge in bhutan constructed over the river. This bridge spans about 170 to 180 meters in length. This bridge is also draped with prayer flags due some local belief We need to walk a lot in order to reach the bridge

    The car gets parked at a side. Small walk to the start of the bridge. Spectacular View and Experience to walk. The other end has a couple of restaurants for quick bite. Walking back is same way, so try to come back in sunlight or else experience night walk in bridge with Flashlight ๐Ÿ”ฆ

    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.

    Punakha suspension bridge is the the longest suspension bridge found in Bhutan which is located in Punakha near pho Chhu river. If I am not mistaken suspension bridge would be around 300m in length connecting two valley together. People usually visit this place for a photoshoot or leisure time. But people with height phobia it will be a great problem as u might have some headache or feels like vomiting ๐Ÿคฎ. Rest it's a beautiful day to spend time here .

  • 4/5 Pranav Rai C. 1 year ago on Google
    The second-longest suspension bridge in Bhutan, Punakha Suspension Bridge is perched over the Mo Chhu and Po Chhu (river) and is about 160-180 meters in length. It is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the world that connects Punakha Dzongkhag to the rest of the valley. Believed to be built by Thangtong Gyalpo, the bridge has undergone several years of renovation. It has an integral part in the architectural history of Bhutan as it was built to connect the villages of Samdingkha and Wangkha by the kings of Wangchuk. The bridge is beautifully draped with prayer flags and makes a perfect spot for bird watching and photography. Although it is built sturdily, it shakes when winds blow strongly, and that is when the thrill is at its zenith.
