    A beautiful temple to visit in Phuentsholing during mornings as well as evening. Both timings give different experiences because the lighting changes. I saw a lot of Buddhist prayers happening in the morning. The night is as beautiful with citizens visiting probably for their daily ritual or relaxing in the small park in the temple area.

    One of the cynosures of the Phuentsholing town. It's a Buddhist temple. People from all walks of life congregate here for a wisp of fresh air and seek refuge in the Buddhist doctrine. It has prayer wheels, a park, and some site beautifications done making an iconic structure in the town. Note: this site has been plotted twice. The other one is "Zangtopelri" and I didn't realise I had already reviewed it years ago. It, as it seems, is the only place in the town that is quaint and refreshing amidst the hustle and bustle in its surrounding spaces. It is also an instant attraction to the people passing by the same particularly, the Indian residents. I have often seen them frequent this place for site-seeing and some clicks. The place is suitable for a visit for people of all ages. As you can see, there are some elderly who come here to pray and circumambulate; there are teens who come here to meet their friends; there are kids who enjoy playing there; and there are some shoppers too who come there for some rest too. And lately, the setting up of open gym inside this facility has added more to this place. Worth a visit, for sure.

    Very small peaceful park with an amazing Buddhist Temple located centrally. It was very peaceful and calming but also very relaxing for prayers. The structures inside the temple were also delicately crafted.

    It's a gorgeous Buddhist temple that you cannot miss. It looks good during the day, ans great at night. Needless to say, it's a must visit. It's very well maintained. They have two prayer wheels at the back. Camera is allowed, and I was able to take some memorable photos.

    Zangtopelri temple is located in Phuentsholing town which is the India and Bhutan border and the gateway to Bhutan. The temple is small but very photogenic with lovely Bhutanese architecture. On the ground level, there are statues of Guru and his eight manifestations. On the second floor, there are eight Bodhisattvas and statues of Avalokiteshwara and Zhubdrung Ngawang Namgyal while on the top floor, the main statue is of Buddha Amitabha. The temple is surrounded by a small ground which makes it even more beautiful.

    This is a good place for Buddhists to come and pray. It is an open monastery situated in the middle of town without any fancy procedures to follow before entering it. Even though it is a small one, it serves it's purpose and is also a tourist attraction spot. Not forgetting to mention, it is a very good resting place. People come here to take rest after a good walking around the streets and also to enjoy nature. Some kind people also offer grains to the pigeons around. Being situated in the heart of the town is such a great advantage for it to attract people into it's beauty.

    Zangdo Pelri Lhakhang is a site of great religious significance in Bhutan. Also known as the ‘Paradise of Guru Rinpoche’, it sits right in the heart of the Phuentsholing town, just close to the Bhutan Gate and Immigration Office, offering peace and solace to the distressed hearts. Built in the 1900s by Dasho Aku Tongmi, the musician and composer of Bhutan’s National Anthem, the temple is a three-storied complex with splendid exteriors fringed with a beautiful garden where visitors can relax and soak in the spiritual vibes.

Both locals and tourists use the nearby park as a recreational area. Young people are frequently observed creating TikTok videos or just taking in the serene surroundings while seated on the benches. Additionally, friends and couples are increasingly using the temple grounds as a meeting place. The lively ambiance is enhanced by the numerous stores that throng the area surrounding the temple.

    This place is so peaceful and I'm lucky to have my hotel in front of it. Most of the time it will be crowded because of tourists and another reason is that this place acts as an entry point for Indian tourists. Visas are not required, not even fees and you can visit this place by just showing aadhaar card (only for 24 hours).

    This is close to the Bhutan Gate and a good place to start the Bhutan visit. You will witness young and old alike in the park offering prayers (rotating the prayer wheels) or just relaxing in the park. The temple itself has a well painted Bhutanese style decorations and architecture. The temple has a Lama and one can offer butter lamps. Being centrally located, there are good number of eateries around. Not a must-visit but definitely recommended.
