Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang Bhutan

Jambay Lhakhang (temple) is one of oldest temple built in the 7th century by Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo who was the founder of Tibetan Empire. He is traditionally accredited for introducing Buddhism to Tibet and creating the Tibetan Alphabet. It is believed that this King had built 108 temples in the Himalayas region to pin down a giant ogress. This is one of the two temples built in Bhutan. The other one is in Paro.

Most of the Bhutanese don’t mind being photographed but it is always better to ask if you would like a photo like this. These kids came around to give me a hug and let me take photos without asking for anything in return. How gracious!
大部份不丹人都不太介意被遊客拍照,當然要這樣拍都要問。這兩位小朋友走過來擁抱我,然後讓我拍照,完全沒有任何要求,並有禮大方!
