About Ngawang Namgyal

Ngawang Namgyal, also known as the Zhabdrung Rinpoche, was a Tibetan Buddhist lama who unified Bhutan in the 17th century and is considered the founder of the Bhutanese nation-state. Born in 1594 in Tibet, he fled to Bhutan in 1616 to escape religious persecution and established a dual system of governance combining spiritual and temporal authority. Ngawang Namgyal built several dzongs (fortress-monasteries), including the famous Punakha Dzong, and introduced many administrative and religious reforms. He played a crucial role in shaping Bhutan’s identity, culture, and national unity. His legacy continues to influence Bhutan's governance and spiritual life today.

Booked: Bhutan Expedition - Explore The Land of Thunder Dragon

This was my first international trip and Bhutan turned out to be the perfect destination. The itinerary was well-balanced with nature and culture. There were some concerns about permits on day one, but the on-ground support team stepped in and sorted it efficiently. Really appreciate how Viacation took care of every little detail.
