Cloud-Hopping at Dochula Pass, Views, Vibes & 108 Stupas

#summervacay Dochula Pass is one of those spots where you just wanna pull over, breathe in deep, and go, “Dang, this is unreal.” Sitting up at over 3,000 meters between Thimphu and Punakha, it’s got all the dreamy vibes, think misty mountains, chilly breeze, and clouds literally drifting past your face. The main highlight? Those 108 chortens (stupas) stacked perfectly in a circle on a hill. They’re beautiful, peaceful, and just feel… sacred. And when the sky’s clear (which is a bit of a gamble, tbh), you get this killer panoramic view of the Himalayan snow peaks. Honestly, it’s the kind of view that makes you stop talking for a sec. There’s a small café nearby too, grab a hot tea and just sit there soaking it all in. No need to rush. Whether it’s sunny or wrapped in fog, Dochula’s got its own quiet magic. It’s not just a pass, it’s a whole mood. Definitely worth the stop!
