Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The monastery on a hill is the most empathetic place I have ever been. The golden statue of the Buddhist god of compassion is so beautiful and the children who are born in the capital get their names from here. I am so blessed to have been able to experience this place and I know that the people who live here are very lucky to have such a beautiful place to call home.

This place is must visit for me at least once in a year to make offering and seek blessings from the local local deity as I was born in and brought up in Thimphu. Almost all kids who are born in Thimphu and was brought here after 3 days of birth by their parents have to do the same. Am Sure everyone will understand why is it so?
But for Tourist if your are spiritual and is seeking blessings can always visit.
Dont forget to carry your Kabney and Rachu if your are bhutanese. Foreigners i think its exceptional.

Changangkha Lhakhang is one of the oldest Lhakhang in Thimphu and its a wish-fulfilling temple. It is situated in a small hill .It is an ancient Buddhist temple which has a special place in Thimphu life as the name-giving temple.

Changangkha Lhakhang is one of the oldest Lhakhang in Bhutan and its a wish-fulfilling temple. Its 5 minutes walk from the main road. One can feel the fresh air and see the magnificent view from that point.
