Photographer’s Note

The bridge to the Rinpung Dzong (the full name of the Paro Dzong).
Traditional wooden covered bridge called Nyamai Zam crosses the Paro Chu (river). It is situated below the Paro Dzong. This is a reconstruction of the original bridge, which was washed away in a flood in 1969. Earlier versions of this bridge were removed in time of war to protect the dzong.
A part of Bernardo Bertolucci’s movie, “Little Buddha,” was filmed on the bridge and inside the Rinpung Dzong.
