Bhutan Travel Paro - Paro Tamchog Zampa (Iron Chain Suspension Bridge)( 2018 0325)
Locate: Thamchog Lhakhang across Paro River
Thangtong Gyalpo erected a bridge across the Paro Chhu to Tamchog by 1433. The soil of the hill on which the Tamchog Gonpa stands, is coloured red by the strong iron content. We can also see metalliferous lodes on the towering rock behind the Gonpa. We could also discover several ‘mouthpieces’ of ore tunnels further up on top of the mountain.
