Sit at Brusnika Russian Cafe with a hot drink and a pastry. The tables face the park, giving you a preview of the view while you wait for the light to change.

Walk through Ludrong Memorial Garden. The ponds and bridges offer a quiet path to the edge of the park where the unobstructed view of Thimphu Dzong begins.

Stand at the garden edge as the sun sets toward the WSW. The golden light washes over the Dzong walls, marking the peak of the moment.

Stroll down to Centenary Park on the riverbank. The light has faded, but the river offers a calm place to reflect on the view you just saw.
